Located in the heart of the Southwest region of Vietnam, Tra Vinh University (TVU) has been entrusted by the Prime Minister of the Government with the national key task of training human resources in the fields of Khmer Language, Culture, and Arts in the Southern region, to meet the cultural and social development needs of the area. TVU has made significant contributions to the preservation of the unique cultural heritage of the Khmer people.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep the flame alive\u201d for the D\u00f9 K\u00ea Theater Art<\/strong><\/p>\n

D\u00f9 K\u00ea is a traditional theatrical performance of the Khmer people that combines singing and dancing. It is a \u201charmony of both traditional and modern musical instruments\u201d and is considered a unique form of Khmer theater art.<\/p>\n

One of the young faces actively involves in preserving and promoting the Southern Khmer \u201cD\u00f9 K\u00ea\u201d theater art is Th\u1ea1ch Th\u1ecb Di\u1ec7u, a third-year student majoring in Traditional musical instrument performance at TVU. Previously, Ms. Di\u1ec7u graduated from a vocational school in Tra Vinh specializing in D\u00f9 K\u00ea drama performance. With her love for her ethnic art, Di\u1ec7u applied to Tra Vinh University with the desire to elevate the art of D\u00f9 K\u00ea with new knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

After graduating from high school, Di\u1ec7u decided to pursue her passion for the art of D\u00f9 K\u00ea in a serious and professional way. Fortunately, she was mentored by Mr. Th\u1ea1ch Sung (from the Khmer \u00c1nh B\u00ecnh Minh Art Troupe), who is not only a performer but also a famous playwright and director of many acclaimed D\u00f9 K\u00ea productions, leaving a deep and indelible impression on the audience. With his dedicated guidance, Di\u1ec7u has continuously learned, improved, and made remarkable progress in dance movements, singing, and body language in even the smallest roles she played.<\/p>\n

According to Di\u1ec7u, with the development and influx of many types of entertainment nowadays, traditional arts are gradually fading away, and young people are less interested in traditional art forms, especially D\u00f9 K\u00ea Theatre Art. In the past, D\u00f9 K\u00ea performances were regularly held in the Khmer community in villages and hamlets, attracting a lot of attention from the community. Nowadays, D\u00f9 K\u00ea Theatre Art is no longer popular and not regularly organized as it used to be.<\/p>\n

\n

Moreover, D\u00f9 K\u00ea is an art form that requires learners to have talent and passion for the profession, to constantly learn and improve from singing, dancing, body language to acting\u2026 In addition, to be able to excel in this art form, the artist must have a certain understanding of culture and be guided and taught by experienced and dedicated artists. Th\u1ea1ch Th\u1ecb Di\u1ec7u shared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the second Southern Khmer D\u00f9 K\u00ea Stage Art Festival, holding from April 1-7, 2023 at Tra Vinh University, Thach Thi Dieu takes on the role of Ammara in the play \u201cThe Costly Lesson\u201d. With her pure beauty, sweet voice, and natural acting style, Dieu excellently wins the Silver Medal.<\/p>\n

Dieu expressed: \u201cI am very honored to have been trusted and given this role by the teachers. This is an opportunity for me to learn from experienced veteran artists, and also a chance to meet and exchange with my peers, which will give me more motivation to develop my love for the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born into a family of artists from the D\u00f9 K\u00ea (Khmer Anh B\u00ecnh Minh Art Troupe), Th\u1ea1ch Mi Thu Na, a student of the 2020 Traditional Musical Instrument Performance class at Tra Vinh University, also shines in his role. At the 2023 Southern Khmer D\u00f9 K\u00ea Art Festival, Th\u1ea1ch Mi Thu Na plays the role of Prince Chane C\u00f4 Rup in the play \u201cThe Costly Lesson\u201d, winning the hearts of the audience and earning a Silver Medal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a childhood filled with the atmosphere of D\u00f9 K\u00ea through my parents\u2019 performances in various provinces in the Mekong Delta. Since I was young, I traveled with my parents to perform all over the place and grew up with the rehearsals of the troupe. When my parents and the troupe performed on stage, I felt the grandeur of the performances, every song, every dance, every dialogue of the characters, and that\u2019s where I began to fall in love with the D\u00f9 K\u00ea art of my people,\u201d said Th\u1ea1ch Mi Thu Na.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Entrusted by the government with the important task of preserving and developing the culture and language of the Southern Khmer, we are fully aware of our enormous responsibility. In recent times, TVU has undertaken numerous effective activities that contribute to the conservation and promotion of Khmer culture, including the art of D\u00f9 K\u00ea. Khmer students, through their profound love for their homeland and traditional art, are the \u201ckeepers of the flame\u201d, ensuring that the beautiful cultural flame of the Khmer people continues to spread far and wide. \u2013 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Tiet Khanh, Chairman of TVU Council, Tra Vinh University.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
