Vietnam circus technological integration

Overview

The Vietnam Circus Federation has premiered a new production titled ‘Son Than Thuy Quai’ (Mountain God and Water Monster), which has achieved significant commercial success by consistently selling out the 1,200-seat Central Circus venue.

The production modernizes the traditional ‘Son Tinh - Thuy Tinh’ folklore by integrating classical circus skills—such as physical discipline and strength—with advanced technologies, including 3D mapping, projection mapping, lighting, and music. To enhance the mythical narrative, the performance utilizes a water stage to recreate environments like mountains, forests, and seas.

This technological integration aligns with broader efforts by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to implement digital transformation within cultural institutions. While utilizing these modern tools to expand the stage, performers emphasize that the core values of circus artistry and Vietnamese cultural identity must remain the foundation of the work.
