The performance of " The fate of Kieu " depicts the character of each of the main characters differently, artizing in the puppet language of the characters in poetry closer and sharper on stage. All details and scenes in "The fate of Kieu" are handled by pieces, attractive puppet shows, space - special abstract light, novelty, traditional music combined with contemporary. This will also be a special investment staged to attend the 4th International Experimental Stage Festival 2019 in Hanoi.
According to People's Artist Le Tien Tho, Chairman of Vietnam Stage Artists Association, although it is a work that is too close and familiar to each Vietnamese, the final destination of the work is still for children and international audience. Therefore, bringing Kieu story and the image of Kieu to the puppet stage for the audience to receive the soul of the work, the image of the character also requires the artist to have the subtlety and clever handling of the drama, to shape the stage and characters.
