“The memories left behind” served as a heartfelt tribute to the heroic achievements of the predecessors and the silent sacrifices of the security forces during the resistance wars. Through a richly layered narrative, the programme transported audiences into an immersive artistic space, highlighting the pinnacle of the people's war waged by the entire Party, military, and people. It evoked unforgettable memories from Tay Ninh and the Southern battlefields.
Meticulously staged, the performance combined elements of epic documentary theatre with an outdoor setting. It featured a fusion of cinematic visuals, music, dance, and modern performance technology. Approximately 500 professional performers participated, alongside 120 Tay Ninh public security officers, canine and cavalry units, and various military equipment - all contributing to a powerful and emotionally resonant artistic experience.
