EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of grand entertainment at the Imperial Palace of Hue, the historic capital city of Thua Thien Hue Province in Vietnam. Dating back to 1907, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region during the French Indochina era. The Palace entertainers in this photograph are depicted in demonic costumes, their faces contorted into crazy and crazed expressions. The chef and his assistants, dressed as demons, prepare a theatrical performance for the royal court. The dancers, also in demonic attire, are poised to entertain the audience with their intricate movements and expressions. The shapes and signals of the performers' hands and masks add to the diabolical atmosphere of the scene. Their costumes, adorned with intricate details, are reminiscent of the traditional Annam style, which blended Vietnamese and Chinese influences. The entourage of masked performers, with their exaggerated facial expressions, add to the overall sense of excitement and wonder. This photograph offers a unique insight into the theatrical performances that once took place at the Imperial Palace of Hue. The entertainers, with their demonic costumes and expressions, were an integral part of the royal court's entertainment, providing a source of delight and amusement for the royals and their guests. The image is a testament to the vibrant and rich cultural heritage of Vietnam during the early 20th century.
