The program “Echoes of the Perfume River” is performed on a stage on the river.

 “Echoes of the Perfume River” tells the story about the life cycle of the people living on the Perfume River, from the time they fall in love, get married, and give birth until their children grow up and continue to work on the river. Mr. Phan Tien Dung is the Head of Thua Thien Hue province’s Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism: “This is a distinctive and big art performance which embraces the typical cultural values of Hue. We highly appreciate the program producers and artists who successfully featured the river culture in Hue”.

The program embraces the typical culture of Hue.

The spectacle is like a watercolor painting which depicts Hue’s watery landscapes and its familiar rural images like the corner of a small fishing village, a banyan-tree, a water well and the village hall’s yard attached to the daily life and fishing activities of local people. Mr. Sarti Massimo, a Belgian who has lived in Hue for several years, said: “I think this is one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen. It’s very nice. Every time I see, there’s something special. That’s why I come every time to see the festival. But this is one of the most beautiful performances. First of all, it concerns the tradition of Hue: the fishermen, the singing, also all the aspects of life in Hue. It’s very professional, well-organized, and very new. Every scene has its own appeal. So, I really enjoy it”.
