Artist My Uyen discusses professional pressures and recent performances

Merited Artist My Uyen, Director of the Small Stage Theater in Ho Chi Minh City, recently reflected on the significant pressures and challenges associated with her career.

Following a series of artistic engagements in Daegu and Busan, South Korea, My Uyen highlighted the contemporary musical work “Ao Quan.” Co-created with director Chinh Ba, the production explores the heavy theme of death by depression and the psychological fractures within modern family structures. The performance utilizes an experimental musical style, combining singing and dance to convey intense internal emotions.

My Uyen emphasized that her successes are the result of collective dedication and perseverance rather than individual effort alone. As a prominent figure in Southern Vietnamese theater and television, she continues to lead the Small Stage Theater (Kich 5B Vo Van Tan) while seeking new ways to innovate within the performing arts.
