Directed by meritorious artist, Tong Toan Thang, and People’s Artist, Ta Duy Anh, who is Director of the Vietnam Circus Federation, the circus programme will be staged at 8pm on July 27, 2018.

This is the first time the Vietnam Circus Federation has assembled an artistic programme to pay tribute to the heroic martyrs who contributed to the revolution. The programme is considered as a chance for young circus artists to be educated on patriotic traditions and the father's indomitable hero tradition through circus art.

In particular, all artists participating in the programme will not receive performance fees. The programme will also offer a number of tickets for the Hanoi municipal War Veterans' Association, the Hanoi City Association of Victims of Agent Orange / Dioxin, veterans and soldiers, and outstanding students who have overcome difficulties to maintain their good academic results.

The programme is expected to be held annually on July 27.
