In 60 minutes, Mo Show tells the story of a child, from its first perceptions of light, color, and life to the discovery and expression of its emotions. The performance combines three elements: puppetry to drive the storyline, circus performances to convey the aspiration to overcome limits, and 3D mapping technology to portray a colorful inner world.
The Phu Tho Circus and Multi-Purpose Performance Theater, which has 2,000 seats, is one of Ho Chi Minh City’s key culture and art facilities and one of the largest circus theaters in the world today.
Meritorious Artist Tong Toan Thang, Director of the Vietnam Circus Federation, said: "It’s a very special feeling to be invited by the leadership of the Ho Chi Minh City Arts Center to represent the Vietnam Circus Federation at the launch of this performance. We’re very proud that Vietnam now has a world-class stage for circus artists. Besides Mo Show, Vietnam is capable of producing highly entertaining and artistic programs in line with the development of the cultural industry."
