Ms. Emmanuelle Pavillon - Grosser, the French Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City, expressed that the cooperative relationship between France and Vietnam had continuously developed since the diplomatic relations was established. The areas of bilateral cooperation have been increasingly growing, especially when the two countries signed a strategic partnership in 2013, affirming shared determination of the both sides to stand side by side, maintain and develop the relationship and exchanges in all fields and at all levels.
The “Hue by Light - The Live Show” program is the result of cooperation between French and Vietnamese teams. The French team took on the art director role of the event. The content and technical solutions were built with partners in Vietnam in the spirit of accompanying and sharing professional knowledge.
This is the result of more than a year of work from the AC3 Studio team, in the technical and creative fields, to perform a light show on the architectural surface of the Noon Gate - Hue Imperial Citadel.
At the program, the artists Sébastien Tellier and Limebócx jointly performed new musical works, which were a blend of electronic music and traditional Vietnamese music, along with a light show (3D mapping), which "attracted" tens of thousands of spectators to immerse themselves in the mesmerizing sound and light performance.
With a projector system, whose brightness is 300,000 lumens, as well as a complete technical diagram and a high-end sound system, the "Hue by light - The live show" program is built around the theme "Four seasons", the Art Nouveau movement, combined with traditional Vietnamese lacquer art, the minimalism with dragons and phoenixes, or the movement of Art Deco, coupled with iconic plants and trees in Vietnamese culture.
