The project, titled Ve Ve Hat Boi (painting hát bội), is the brainchild of 40 artists and illustrators, who completed different personal projects that took inspiration from the time-honored performing art. Ve Ve Hat Boi collected of young creatives that includes illustrators, painters, filmmaker, and event planners have formed to organize a major exhibition focusing on hát bội, a form of traditional Vietnamese theater opera that is facing gradual decline.
Hát bội, or tuồng as it is known in central and northern Vietnam, has been a part of Vietnam's cultural heritage for centuries as a favorite form of nighttime entertainment in the days before television, radio and western musical concerts.
