The performance consists of two sections. The first chapter “Dien Bien Phu – The Everlasting Epic” reenacts the resistance war against the French colonists, with the victory as the climax. The second, “Dien Bien Memory – A Bright Future and Dien Bien” – The Love of Land and People , depicts the steady development of the area. The section also features reporting and interviews with generals and artists who joined the campaign in addition to Dien Bien Phu themed songs from the past 60 years.Depending on the developments of the programme, the stage will turn out to be Hill A1 – where the fiercest battle of the campaign took place – or the bunker of General De Castries, or mountain slopes where soldiers and civil labourers carried weapons.

According to the general director, People’s Artist Le Ngoc Cuong, audiences will be fully immersed in the performance, with the entire space surrounding the stage to be used for the reenactment of the campaign.

On May 5, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, head of the organising board of the anniversary celebrations of the victory, attended a preview of a ceremony to pay respect to heroic martyrs at Martyrs’ Cemetery on A1 Hill, the resting place of the 644 soldiers who died during the campaign.

The Deputy PM said he applauded the efforts of the army and civil forces and artists for their efforts on the event.
