A new cultural venue dedicated to preserving and reimagining Hanoi's traditional performing arts has been recently opened in the capital's Tay Ho ward. Located at 66 To Ngoc Van street, the newly launched CADAO Collective brings together three iconic art forms associated with the ancient capital: water puppetry, ca tru (an ancient genre of chamber music featuring female vocalists,) and xam folk music within a single immersive cultural space designed to offer visitors a multi-sensory experience of the capital city's heritage. The venue is organised around three themed spaces: village, street and home, representing different aspects of Hanoi's cultural life. VNA Photo: Khánh Hoà
