Artist Thanh Luu brings the warmth of Cai Luong to Thi Nghe Nursing Home

On the morning of August 29, at the Thi Nghe Nursing Home Hall (HCMC), artist Thanh Luu and many colleagues and students will organize a special art program to celebrate the August Revolution and National Day September 2.

This event hopes to bring meaningful spiritual gifts to the elderly, including many elderly and lonely stage artists who are being cared for at Thi Nghe Nursing Home such as: Meritorious Artist Dieu Hien, Writer Artist Mac Can, Artist Huynh Thanh Tra, Artist Lam Son, Artist Ngoc Dang...

Thanh Luu with beautiful wishes

A beautiful wish from the heart of artist Thanh Luu - he was considered the successor of his family, when he became a student of People's Artist Phung Ha and was taught and guided by artists Kim Hoang and Nhu Mai.

Sharing about the idea of ​​organizing the program, artist Thanh Luu emotionally said: "I have been attached to the stage for many years, and I understand that the artists, especially those who have devoted their youth to the lights, to the songs, always want to hear the sound of instruments, the singing, to relive the bustling atmosphere of the shows. I want to bring that joy to them, together with my colleagues and students, as a word of gratitude, a sharing."

Thanh Luu connects young actors

From his desire to contribute to community work, he received enthusiastic support from many young actors, who were mentored by him in acting training classes at Tran Huu Trang Theater.

The precious thing is that his students are not only people from the artistic environment, but also doctors, engineers, teachers, traders... and later on, there was the participation of actors from the contests "Chuong Vang Vong Co" and "Bong Lua Vang". All came to the Cai Luong stage with passion and sincere love, and they have always accompanied their teacher in many meaningful programs.

Thanh Luu brings vọng cổ and classic plays to Thi Nghe

Audiences at Thi Nghe Nursing Home will relive the atmosphere of the South through familiar vọng cổ songs: "Vuyên tiêu quê mẹ", "Em bé quê", "Truong Son Đông, Truong Son Tây"... The sound of folk songs promises to resonate with affection, evoking memories of a time of youth, a time of arduous but heroic resistance of the uncles and aunts who are veteran revolutionary cadres being cared for at Thi Nghe Nursing Home.

Not only stopping at the soulful songs, the program also recreates two famous cai luong excerpts: "Bao tap Nguyen Phong" with the participation of artists Tan Dat, Thanh Truong, Trung Dung, Quoc Dung; and "Ben cau det lua" with the participation of artists Thanh Luu (as the king), Thuy Trang (as Quynh Nga), Yen Khoa (as Princess Bich Van), Tan Xuyen (as Tran Minh), Hoai Phuong (as a soldier).

These excerpts are staged simply but full of spirit, giving the audience moments of contemplation and nostalgia.

What makes the program deeply humane is the connection between generations of artists. Young people who are passionate about the stage today have the opportunity to perform in front of their seniors, those who have devoted their whole lives to art.

It is both a way of expressing gratitude and a promise to continue the tradition of Cai Luu. Artist Thanh Luu has contributed to the cause of nurturing young talents for many years, with her passion and love for the profession. Therefore, the program at Thi Nghe Nursing Home is not just a performance, but also a testament to the social responsibility and humanitarian spirit of Cai Luu artists today.
