The AO Show

AO Show (pronounced as Ahhh Ohhh Show) has been presented since 2013. It is a combination of circus art, contemporary dance, traditional Vietnamese music and stage lighting. For 60 minutes, dancers, actors and musicians illustrate Vietnam's transition from rural life to urbanization, using only the power of movement and facial expression.
