 | About Vietnam >> Vietnam's Performance Art :>> Vietnam's Performance Art - Tuong It’s believed that Tuong was imported to Vietnam from China in the 13th century. Tuong is really a valuable pearl reflecting the rich and special culture of Vietnamese people. The difference between Tuong and other traditional performance art in Vietnam is the actors in Tuong make use of their technical mastery to describe the actions and states of mind of the characters. Tuong stage has a very concise symbolization. Only with some actors on the stage or two generals with some soldiers fighting also show a battle with hundreds of thousands of troops and horses fighting fiercely, and even a gourd of win and four wooden cups also express a lowish banquet.
The most impression in Tuong is also their art of making up. Just looking at a made-up face, we can guess the personality and social class of that character. For example, a canthsus drawn toward one's ears show that he is a great gentleman and hero. As for beards, a black, curly beard is for a fierce man, three-tuft beard for a gentleman; a dragon's beard for Kings and mandarins and for majesty; a mouse's whisker, a goat's beard and a fox's whisker for cunning and dishonest men. Beardless man must be students.
