(Baonghean.vn) - Every spring, Ke Gam village, Xuan Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district, holds a bustling festival.
No one remembers when the art of Tuong appeared here. They only know that from generation to generation, through many ups and downs, the "muddy-handed" farmers of Ke Gam village still pass on to each other the "tuong stories", roles, makeup, and gestures of the Tuong...
Tuong has penetrated deeply into the souls of the villagers, becoming an indispensable spiritual food in the daily life of the people here. We have recorded some images of the first spring Tuong performance:

| The "actors" of the play adjusted each other's makeup. |
