Experience Lang Toi, the world's first bamboo circus in Hanoi, celebrating Vietnamese culture through movement, music, and handcrafted art.
In Vietnam, bamboo is more than just a plant; it’s a symbol of strength and resilience deeply embedded in the daily lives of its people. From construction to home decor, bamboo plays a versatile role in Vietnamese culture. However, a unique artistic expression takes this humble material to new heights—Lang Toi, the world’s first bamboo circus.

A Cultural Journey Through Bamboo
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Lang Toi—translated as "My Village"—is the longest-running show in Vietnam, captivating audiences with its one-hour performance that beautifully narrates the cultural story of traditional Vietnamese villages. The show is a vibrant tapestry woven from movement, music, and, of course, bamboo.

Throughout the performance, bamboo is utilized in various forms, from the raft on which performers dance to the traditional musical instruments they play. This creative use of bamboo showcases not only the material's versatility but also its significance in Vietnamese culture.

A Handmade Experience
Unlike many modern performances that rely on technological gimmicks and special effects, every element of Lang Toi is handcrafted. The absence of verbal dialogue invites the audience to connect with the performers through live folk music and expressive movement, transcending language barriers and making the show accessible to everyone.

A Global Phenomenon
Lang Toi's universal appeal has led to its success both domestically and internationally. With over 1,000 performances under its belt, including more than 300 shows outside Vietnam in Europe and across Asia, Lang Toi continues to mesmerize audiences worldwide.

Initially featuring a cast of 20 musicians and performers, the team has since expanded into a thriving production company with over 200 staff members. Lune Production, the show’s producer, is committed to showcasing the uniqueness of Vietnamese culture through various performances across three key locations in Vietnam: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hoi An.

In Hanoi, audiences can experience Lang Toi at two historic venues—the 108-year-old Hanoi Opera House (01 Trang Tien St., Hoan Kiem Dist.) and the Hanoi Vietnam Tuong Theater (51A Duong Thanh St., Hoan Kiem Dist.). Each performance highlights the rich tapestry of Vietnamese tradition through the lens of this extraordinary bamboo circus.

Conclusion
Lang Toi is more than just a circus show; it’s a celebration of Vietnamese heritage, creativity, and the timeless beauty of bamboo. As it continues to captivate audiences both at home and abroad, Lang Toi stands as a testament to the power of cultural expression through art.
