The opening ceremony was organized by the Vietnam Dance Artists Association, in collaboration with the Kon Tum Provincial People’s Committee. During the opening event, a contemporary dance performance entitled SeSan was showcased. The music for the performance was composed by Vietnamese musician Chinh Ba, with international contemporary musicians and artists Oscar Tillman from Sweden, and Yohei Yama from Japan, contributing to the production. Inspiration for the performance came from the unique features of contemporary dance and movement art. It highlights the raw and powerful beauty of the Central Highlands’ culture, depicting the cultural blending and community spirit of the indigenous peoples, who have lived along the SeSan River for generations. The Vietnam Dance Week 2024 features eight art troupes with over 100 artists. The performances are expected to dazzle audience from October 13 to 15./.
