The Four Palaces Show (also called “Tứ Phủ” in Vietnamese), is the traditional performance of Vietnamese people. Director Viet Tu wants to cultivate this show, which is inspired by the belief of mounting the medium (“lên đồng” in Vietnamese) but artistically changed to introduce to foreign tourists those visiting Hanoi. The Four Palaces Show is a special gift from Vietnamese custom, also a traditional art performance that was practiced through the decades.
Last year, UNESCO recognized the mounting the medium as intangible heritage. In the July, the show was recognized by TRIPADVISOR as an excellent service of 2017.
