The Art Director of Son Hau is a visual artist; which is probably the reason why this play carries such a unique allure. The visual effects in Son Hau are explored very differently from the traditional scenography; it was the dark spaces in the decoration that create an emotional lift for the songs and music.

I think this play can be well designed and performed in Vietnam; however there is a need to introduce it in international stages especially in France where traditional Vietnamese performance arts were studied by a number of French researchers. Those researches, unfortunately, are kept inside specialized libraries with limited access to the grand audience.

To this day, Tu-ong Son Hau has proven itself to be not only a project, but a complete master work with solid analysis and careful thinking process. If Son Hau has the opportunity to perform in French and European theatrical stages, it will give the local spectators an opportunity to enjoy a new performance genre that has known its splendor days in Vietnam traditional society but risks of losing its role in the modern life.
