Recently, at the show The First I Tell, People’s Artist Bach Tuyet talked about being kidnapped during a once-shocking 1984 tour of Western Europe.
The doctors all said I can’t have children anymore
That time was in February 1984, the city received invitations from 5 Western European countries to let artists perform.
City leaders that day also had the idea of bringing Cai Luong artists to Western Europe to perform, how to please overseas Vietnamese, but Westerners also had to understand Vietnamese culture.
It mean. In that performance trip, there must be cheo, tuong, cai luong, water puppetry about the period of nation building.
I was one of the artists who was able to tour at that time, feeling extremely blessed.
All the artists allowed to go are excellent. In particular, the reformed party selected top celebrities such as People’s Artist Le Thuy, People’s Artist Ngoc Giau, People’s Artist Diep Lang, and People’s Artist Thanh Hai.
However, everyone has never toured abroad, so they are quite worried. My husband even invited the teacher to teach me martial arts while I practiced tuong.
My husband is worried because my situation is different from the rest of the artists. My son was only 7 years old at that time, and the doctors said I couldn’t have children anymore. It was my only child, had to beg everywhere to get it.
I don’t want to leave my baby for a second. Yet I chose to go on a tour not knowing what it would be like.
Actually, before going on tour, we were prepared to be kidnapped and stay, because there were some pretty aggressive elements there.
A bunch of people standing cursing, screaming, scared
After rehearsing the drama, People’s Artist Le Thuy also told me: “The city has to trust us a lot to give it away, sister. If something happens, we must return home no matter how we live or die.
That is our reputation with domestic audiences. Don’t go home because of this or that. I also bowed to the Job Group that, over there, anyone can arrest anyone, but don’t force me, I have to go back to my country.
Ms. Ngoc Giau is very smart, she knows how to return anyway, and Ms. Bach Tuyet is good at talking, talking for a while and then being released. Personally, I don’t know what to say, so I hope they don’t make me stay.”
We talked, laughed, joked with each other, not expecting the kidnapping to happen.
At that time, Germany was divided into East Germany and West Germany. We were performing in West Germany in a wonderfully beautiful condition, like a honeymoon.
People in Germany love our artists very much, the situation there is also very safe. We were very comfortable acting.
That night, we went from the hotel to the theater. While moving from the hotel to the bus, we had to cross a courtyard.
Mr. Thanh Duoc quickly went ahead and was immediately caught by those people. Ngoc Giau just shouted, I turned to see 4 people carrying Mr. Thanh Duoc.
I later learned that the audience over there because they were so passionate about cai luong but no one could sing to them, so they kidnapped the cai luong artists to sing for them. Vietnamese people everywhere are passionate about national art.
