Film presentation of the play
Register
Bức Chân Dung (The Portrait) is a theater project initiated by Director Lê An, inspired by Act I of the classic Greek play ANTIGONE by Sophocles.
The Portrait is the only contribution from Saigon to the ANTIGONE SAISON. The play subtly transfers the Greek tragedy to Saigon, delivering an unforgettable theatrical experience from the spirit of Saigon.
Set in Saigon in the early 1970s, The Portrait chronicles the journey of the protagonist An, a journalist, dealing with her family's tragedy. An tries to overturn the decree prohibiting the burial of the enemy's corpse in order to bury her brother. An therefore has to deal with her father (Mr. Dac) and younger sister (Nhi).
The viewer accompanies An on her way. The play also invites the visitor to think about your own history and to find answers to the question of your own identity.
By screening the recorded play, Saigon Theatreland hopes that the Hanoi audiences can fully enjoy the play with high-quality sound and images.
