VIETNAMESE TRADITIONAL ART HONORED IN “THE GLORIOUS PAIN”

“The Glorious Pain” is a documentary film created by Le My Cuong and Thanh Nguyen as a part of the VTV Special Documentary Series. The film features the journey of a small classical Vietnamese opera (tuồng) troupe and one of the very few left, as they travel and perform through the Western Vietnam countryside. The Royal characters, behind the closed curtains are commoners and peasants who struggle to make ends meet. The troupe is on the verge of disbandment because the main artists were going through a hard time. What future awaits the troupe and its artists? Would it disappear in the same way as many other traditional art forms?

All proceeds from the film are going to be donated to support the fading traditional art in the Western Vietnam countryside.
