Teh Dar, A Traditional Show in Hoi An

Teh Dar, A Traditional Show in Hoi An

Hoi An, Vietnam

Teh Dar is an astonishing spectacle that shows the beliefs, habits and traditions of vietnamese old tribes combined with circus, balance, acrobatics, juggling, contemporary dance and live music.

It takes place in Hoi An, at Lune Center. The range of prices goes from 650.000 VND to 1.600.000 and there is not a big difference between the different options The disposition of the theater seats allows you to be very close to the stage in all cases. Even if you are allocated in the last rows of the lateral seats, the visibility will be quite good and you will not miss anything of the show.

The duration of the show is 1h. A very young cast executes several acts about reincarnation, hunting, religious ceremonies or harvesting among others. They perform incredible exercises of coordination and acrobatics, which will keep you in tension during the whole evening. The lightning, melodies and rhythm of every act is always perfectly suited.

Bear in mind that the use of audio/video recording devices, cell phones, food and beverages and cigarettes are prohibited. However, the team will wait for the public outside at the end of the show to take pictures together.

There are some other related shows from the same production such as the AOshow, but in our opinion, Teh Dar is by far the best one.

You will not have explanations about the acts and nothing will be translated, it’s your imagination and the way you interpret it that will create the story. However, here you have the name of the eight acts that take place, extracted from the flyer of the event:
The arrival, the hunt, the calling, the gathering, the farming, the boar racing, the circling, the fairies.

Teh Dar is enthralling, yet sometimes amusing, and its breathtaking stunts will leave no one unmoved. It is one of the top must-see cultural shows in Vietnam and totally worth the money and time if you stop by Hoi An.
