Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Vietnam Circus Federation debuts 3D mapping production The Vietnam Circus Federation has launched ‘Son Than Thuy Quai,’ a new production blending traditional circus with 3D mapping, music, and a water stage to modernize cultural storytelling. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-circus-federation-debuts-3d-mapping-production ### 2026-10-05: Vietnam Circus integrates technology with traditional art The Vietnamese circus production ‘Son Than Thuy Quai’ is seeing massive success by blending traditional circus arts with modern projection and lighting technology to tell classic Vietnamese folklore. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-circus-integrates-technology-with-traditional-art --- Cite as: Vietnam circus technological integration.
