AKUTAGAWA Yasushi
Spider’s Thread

Solo dancer: Cao Chi Toan
and Dancers of Vietnam National Opera and Ballet (VNOB)
Akutagawa was known for piecing together many different sources for many of his stories, and “The Spider’s Thread” is no exception. He read Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov in English translation sometime between 1917 and 1918, and the story of “The Spider’s Thread” is inspired partly by a very short fable from the novel known as the Fable of the Onion.
Igor Stravinsky
Firebird 1919 version
Choreographer: Lars Andersen (Danmark)
Stage Choreographer: People’s Artist Pham Anh Phuong
Firebird: Phan Van Luong,
Prince: Cao Chi Thanh,
Princess: Nhu Quynh,
Tyrant: Van Duc
and the Dancers from the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet
In this version specially created for the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet, we have looked into how the movement vocabulary and quality of ballet is effected when applying the tools of the dramatic theatre according to the thoughts of Stravinsky, for example “the aim of the role-who and how does the role want to influence”. We have tried to enrich our version of the Firebird with the fusions of Vietnamese traditional Art.
Comments from KVT on Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird: “Phenomenal and Beautiful and 100% Excellent”, “Essential viewing for any aspiring artist or photographer, for and all lovers of beauty and beautiful movement.”
