During the competition on September 21, the duo captivated both the international jury and audience with their aerial silk routine titled "Moment of Love."
The performance required rigorous conditioning before the festival. As a dual aerial act, the discipline demands exceptional physical stamina, precise body control, and seamless synchronization during lifts, holds, spins, and mid-air releases.
Beyond raw technique, "Moment of Love" was praised for its artistic depth. Each movement conveyed themes of mutual support, emotional connection, and trust, elevating the act from a display of technical skill into a compelling narrative.
Mr. Le Hong Son, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Arts Center, noted that the piece impressed judges through its blend of athleticism, precision, and emotional resonance—demonstrating flawless coordination and absolute trust between the performers.
The victory marks another international milestone for Thanh Hoa and Hien Phuoc, bringing pride to Ho Chi Minh City’s performing arts community. It also highlights the global potential of modern Vietnamese circus, where technical prowess is paired with theatrical staging and physical storytelling.
The achievement is expected to inspire local artists to continue innovating, refining their craft, and delivering high-caliber performances to international audiences.
