Abstract
Chèo is a form of traditional stage art that is made up of a skillful combination of poetry and music, dance and sculpture. Ancient Chèo (also known as Hát Trò) - a special art imbued with lyrical and narrative characteristics - has been very popular in the daily life of the people in the North of Vietnam since the Đinh Dynasty in 10th century. The art is closely associated with features of farmers in the Northern Delta in the past, who were attached to wet rice agriculture that led them to a closed life with little interaction. In that context, a natural formation of Chèo zones operating with a same purpose of “praising the good and fighting against the evil”, has come into being, and thereby forming artistic styles of Chèo zones having their own characteristics that are diverse and rich in genres.
