Hanoi (VNA) -
Belgian dance group Vredon graced the Hanoi Opera House on July 26 for an
afternoon of cultural fusion.



Since 1980, they have
travelled the world to perform routines that combine different dance traditions
together.



“We went to Israel, South
Africa, even the United States. In Asia, we visited Thailand, China. Now here
we are in Vietnam,” Vredon’s Vice President Dirk Laureys said.



Vredon choreographs their
dances, and the group even has its own music. The highlight of their
performances, however, was the flags.



The group used different
kinds of flags for each dance. According to Vredon President Kris de Moor, each
flag weighs 5 kilograms. Still, the dancers managed to perform acrobatic moves
as they spun and threw the flags up into the sky.



The flags, of course,
represent their cultural fusion.



They did not only use their
Belgian flag, but they also presented flags to represent different regions of the
world, Vietnam included.



“It feels amazing to perform.
It is actually why we’re here, to show our dance and bring people together. I
am really excited. It was amazing,” said performer Kaat Laureys after the show.



Audience member Guy Van Der
Vurst put it best: “This performance brought me home. I saw my country’s flag
and felt proud.”-VNA
