A watershow on the surface of Hoan Kiem Lake

Referring to Hanoi, one must mention “Ho Guom”, a place with many historical and cultural values, a place associated with Hanoi people.

Inspired by the legend that create the name of the lake, "Legend of Sword Return", I want to recreate that story with the help of modern technology, to help us all imagine the famous story that has been passed down by word of mouth for generations. In addition to the desire to re-create "Legend of Sword Return". This is also an opportunity for us to introduce to the public, especially young people, a new and more interesting way to learn and approach history. Or further, calling for creativity from educational measures, contributing to making the history of the country more accessible and interesting to the younger generation.

The Exhibition exhibits on the surface of Hoan Kiem Lake as a part of a watershow, using water-screen setup to showcase the story, supported elements including light, laser, water and images.
