Hat boi in Miniature(Miniature of Traditional Stage in Dinh Communal House)
Description This miniature stage recreates the traditional Hat boi stage, known as ‘Vo ca’, built inside a village communal house ‘Dinh’. The Hat boi characters are made with ‘To he’ techniques and materials. To he is a traditional Vietnamese toy that can be a reproduction of animals, flowers, or characters in folk tales made using glutinous rice flour, and is usually made for children during holidays such as Vietnamese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival. Hát bội performances take place during the kỳ yên village festival at the communal house, especially in central and southern Vietnam. The model is made after a võ ca traditional stage built inside the communal house in the Mekong Delta, where hát bội is performed to praise for the village's guardian spirit and to entertain villagers. The model, set as a contextual display as a background for the miniature hát bội characters, is to provide the audience an image of how a traditional hát bội stage in a traditional Southern communal house. A number of characters, such as antagonists Tạ Ôn Đình and Khương Linh Tá will be placed in the middle as if they are in battle to set a scene of a famous play San Hậu. The remaining characters will be placed on both sides of the stages. Text labels will be provided to explain the characters, the stage and the scene of Tạ Ôn Đình fighting with Khương Linh Tá
