Vietnam….Hoi An Memories Show
The Hoi An Memories Show is the centerpiece, featuring more than 500 actors and dancers performing 400 years of history on a 25,000 square meters outdoor stage.
The show begins in the 16th century. Hoi An is a rural village, represented by a single farmer’s home and his family’s humble life. The city erupts around them, and the show progresses through the centuries from there.
Though the show presents major historical moments, the real magic in its delicate representations of ordinary daily life. Hundreds of actors go about the business of living as it’s been done for hundreds of years. There are no dialogues or scripts. There is no language. The city itself is the main character and the narrator is the thread of time.
As the lighting shifts and changes to illustrate years and seasons, it is impossible not to realize that each spectator is also a character. This moment is a plot point in the script. Our present tense, utterly inseparable from the memory of its past.
The Memories Show runs every evening except Tuesdays, from 19.30 to 20.45hrs.
