APPLICATION OF ENCODING - DECODING OF TUỒNG CHOREOGRAPHY IN THE PRESERVATION OF TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE TUỒNG THEATRE

Abstract: In the context of globalization and the vigorous development of contemporary cultural and artistic life, Tuồng theatre is undergoing profound transformations, particularly in its traditional performance practices. From a semiotic perspective, choreography in traditional Tuồng performance can be understood as a distinctive system of artistic signs, in which each bodily movement not only carries aesthetic value but also embodies deep layers of cultural and ideological meaning. Current shifts in performance environments and modes of reception have diminished the audience’s capacity to decode this system of signs, thereby posing an urgent need for its preservation, promotion, and development. Keywords: encoding-decoding, Tuồng choreography, preservation. Title: APPLICATION OF ENCODING - DECODING OF TUỒNG CHOREOGRAPHY IN THE PRESERVATION OF TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE TUỒNG THEATRE Author: MA.
