You can enter a subtitle here if you need it

Cheo singing is an oral one with stories composed by anonymous authorperformers and orally “passed on” to fellow performers. In this folk art
performance, stories which can be legends, poetry, history or even daily life are
the most important, “whenever there are stories, we have Cheo”.
Also, brought into the play are acrobatic scenes and magic. Cheo tells tales of chiefs,
heroes and lovely maidens and offers an eclectic mix of romance, tragedy and
comedy. These stories are performed by folk songs with pantomime, instrumental
music and dances, combined with instructive or interpretative sketches.

Figure-Nhân vật
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and
the smallest one in the Solar System—it's
only a bit larger than the Moon.

Group 1
Beside the stories, the characters are the soul
of a play. Like Tuong, Cheo uses standard stock
characters -usually a hero, a heroine and a
clown- who are instantly recognizable to the
audience.

Group 2

Cheo stories may sometimes be romantic or tragic but the clown
or buffoon always comment on the action in an amusing or satirical
way as well as to mock pompous, ridiculous or dishonest
characters. Providing a link between the performers and the
audience, he shoots shafts of satire at evil-doers, such as ignorant
witchdoctors, greedy landlords, or arrogant mandarins.

The costumes,
make-up and
gestures

The costumes, make-up and
gestures are very simple and base
on each character of the play.

Example
The master in a flowing gown and his
servant in a short coat and carrying a stick,
each speaking the language and behaving in
the ways of his class.

Stage-Sân
khấu
A Cheo play can not be complete
without stage.

Stage
The play could be put on the stage
of a large theatre, but also be
performed successfully on one or two
bed mats spread in the middle of a
communal house. The Cheo drum
was traditionally used like a church
bell with magical sounds. Upon
hearing, villagers cannot resist
coming to see the play.
