In East Asian culture, horses are not merely a means of transport but a cultural symbol. In Hue during the Nguyen Dynasty, the presence of horses accompanied ceremonial processions and imperial carriages. Even today, that image endures on two bronze urns of the Nine Dynastic Urns - Huyen Dinh and Anh Dinh (the alias of Tu Duc) - like a layer of resilient metallic memory, reminding us that horses once played a role in the life of the former imperial capital.

At the end of May, Hue hosted the first session of a local artist training course organized by 4ll-in Performance Art Company (4LLIN). Coming to Hue, the young members of 4LLIN brought the project “Developing the performing arts ecosystem in Hue, from June to December 2025.”
