Combining singing, poetry recitation, dance, drama, documentaries, and talks, the performances will capture childhood memories of Tet, thoughts and worries about the hectic Tet holidays in modern life, and appreciation of precious values, sending hopes and wishes for the New Year.
“The idea is about journeys on trains and buses where we see our homeland being transformed day by day. It can also be a journey home in the minds of people who are away from home,” said Tung.
The program’s production crew has captured the Tet atmosphere of soldiers in the Truong Sa (Spratlys) Archipelago and overseas Vietnamese in Germany and Japan.
According to Nguyen Thanh Loi, Editor-in-Chief of Economic&Urban Newspaper, the program’s co-host, New Year in the Homeland brings audiences a meaningful time of enjoying music and art, sharing stories and emotions before the Lunar New Year.
