Alma Resort Cam Ranh is poised to put scenic Cam Ranh on the cultural map with a new extravaganza celebrating Vietnam’s rich heritage, traditions and folklore with contemporary flair. From July 5 this year, Alma’s vast outdoor amphitheatre will host “The Stage – Alma Show”; “a cross-cultural collaboration between Vietnamese and Korean creatives” entailing four daily performances that each cater to up to 400 spectators. The 70-minute “Alma Show” makes for a visual marvel that pays homage to Vietnam’s “five elements of nature” earth, water, fire, wood and metal. The entertainment line-up features magicians, dancers, water puppetry, special effects, a flash mob, Ao Dai fashion show and more for all ages. The spectacle involves audience interaction and opens with dancers bringing the vanquished Champa Kingdom’s “Apsara” dance to life in tribute to the Cham people’s long history with the local area. The stories behind Vietnam’s five elements are told in short yet spectacular segments. After a short water puppet show underpinned by the elements ‘water’ and ‘wood’, ‘earth’ is depicted by dancers and magicians gathering silks to craft a colossal lotus flower. ‘Fire’ is marked in fiery style, with a magician performing a fire sword show before the dramatic rescue of a dancer in a large cage that bursts into flames. Following a mesmerising Non La (conical hat) dance, a contemporary take on the element ‘metal’ encompasses all sorts of visual effects during the flash mob and elegant Ao Dai fashion parade. The Alma Show will be staged twice per night from 6pm and 8pm by 24 dancers and magicians Jacky (Haesung Kim) and Bui Huu Thien under the stewardship of acclaimed executive directors and producers Jin (Hyukjin Cho) and Terry (Byongkok Jung) of Vietnam-based company The Stage VN. Jin’s impressive resume includes directing and producing the Dana Show and directing the opening ceremony of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Terry was the chief director of the Dreams Come True Magic Tour and Chuncheon Lake Fairy Festival. Meanwhile “The Magic and Water Puppet Show”, totalling 50 minutes, will be offered twice daily from 11am and 3pm. As its name suggests, the show includes 30 minutes of traditional water puppetry, by 10 professional puppeteers manoeuvring puppets in chest-deep water, and 20 minutes of “magical water-themed illusions”. The show portrays village life, farming scenes, folklore, and mythical legends symbolising Vietnam’s patriotism. ‘Thánh Gióng’, about a young boy who grows into a giant hero and rides a flying iron horse to defeat invaders, and the ‘Emperor Lê Lợi’s and the Magical Sword’, involving the gods granting Le Loi a magical sword to liberate Vietnam, are among the show’s highlights. The show is directed by the 2014 world champion in puppetry, Nguyễn Tiến Dũng, the Vietnam National Puppetry Theatre’s artistic director. “Vietnam has such a rich and fascinating culture, affording so many compelling stories to share about its history, beauty and resilience,” said Alma Cam Ranh’s managing director Herbert Laubichler-Pichler. “‘The Stage – Alma Show’ promises to be a feast for the eyes and to bring any visit to our region and indeed to Vietnam to a whole new level.” “The Stage – Alma Show is a heartfelt collaboration to honor and reintroduce Vietnam’s beauty to the world,” Jin added. Priced at USD 30 each for the Alma Show and USD 20 each for the Magic and Water Puppet Show, tickets are available at the Alma Promotions Desk and at the Amphitheatre.

Traveling with kids always presents the challenge of finding activities that engage their imaginations while also offering cultural enrichment. On our latest trip to Bali, my six-year-old son and I were fortunate to experience the mesmerising Devdan Show – Treasure of the Archipelago at the Nusa Dua Theatre, an experience that exceeded all expectations. Located in the heart of the luxurious Nusa Dua‘s Complex Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), the theatre is surrounded by beautiful resorts and pristine beaches, adding a touch of elegance to the entire evening. We were generously hosted by the theatre and treated to some of the best seats in the house, offering an unobstructed view of the dazzling stage. From the moment the curtains lifted, my son was captivated. The Devdan Show is a vibrant and energetic performance that brings to life the diverse cultures of Indonesia, showcasing the country’s traditional dances and rituals from Bali, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and Papua. The way the show blends modern elements with ancient traditions truly held his attention throughout. He was particularly thrilled by the acrobatic performances and the colourful costumes, which seemed to transport us to another world. The professional dancers and artists made the show even more spectacular. Their ability to convey the stories of Indonesia’s regions through movement, music, and stunning visual effects was nothing short of incredible. Each segment introduced a new island and its unique cultural heritage, and the transitions between traditional and contemporary styles were seamless. My son loved the aerial acts and fire dancing, often leaning over to tell me how “cool” it was! I cannot thank the theatre enough for providing us with such an enriching experience. For families traveling with kids, the Devdan Show offers a fantastic blend of entertainment and education. The visual spectacle kept my son engaged, and as a parent, I appreciated the cultural depth and the artistry behind every performance. In conclusion, if you’re visiting Bali with children, I highly recommend adding the Devdan Show to your itinerary. It’s a fantastic way to introduce young ones to Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage while enjoying a fun-filled evening that’s sure to create lasting memories for the whole family.
