An act of hat tuong (local word from the North) or hat boi (local word from the South), a traditional form of Vietnamese theatre influenced by Chinese opera, is performed at a makeshift stage in a temple on March 19, 2022 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. At the beginning of more than 600 years ago, most hat tuong or hat boi scripts were based on Chinese folk stories, but the Vietnamese soon added local adaptations and then began to write their own plays based on Vietnamese folk tales. Although the popularity of hat tuong or hat boi is not at its peak as it was in the 1990s, there are still traveling troupes who continue to perform across the country to keep this art form alive.
