# Event Details - **Event Name**: ANIVIA 2025 Public Presentation - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 12 Dec, 2025 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 12 Dec, 2025 at 09:30 pm - **Event Description**: ANIVIA, an original musical weaving musical theatre with Vietnamese folk songs, folk tales and folk games.About this EventWe would like to invite you to embark on our journey on December 12th 7:30pm as we present an immersive workshop showing of ANIVIA at Small World Music Centre (180 Shaw Street, Toronto, ON, Canada M6J 2W5)ANIVIA combines Western Theatre and music from Vietnamese folk traditions to immerse the audience on the Wanderer’s musical journey to pick up fragments of a broken mirror and his identity. Weaving the audience together with musical theatre and Vietnamese folk music, tales and folk games, this is a story about identity, love and remembrance.ANIVIA has 2 acts:Act 1 engages the audience in playing the Vietnamese folk game "Lo To Show" (musical drag bingo). The winner of each round gets a prize and reveals one aspect of The Wanderer's story, one by one until the last round, when we fully understand who The Wanderer is, what the mirror fragments are, and why The Wanderer has to commence the journey of picking them up.Act 2 follows the conventional musical theatre format: The Wanderer journeys to the past to meet with Emperor Khai Dinh, the first and only openly gay King of 19th century Vietnam. The encounter teaches both The Wanderer and The Emperor lessons to set them free.ANIVIA was conceptualized by Tan Vu at Buddies In Bad Times (Emerging Creators’ Unit 2022), partially workshopped at Aluna Theatre and presented at Factory Theatre (Caminos 2023). This is a project that explores what it means to explore and return to one’s roots. Utilizing a mixture of immersive theatre and historical context, this is a musical theatre piece that is rooted in both the vulnerable and culturally historical. This has been a multi-year long process that has cultivated from a solo piece to a large ensemble cast and we are thrilled to be taking these next steps on our journey.This workshop presentation will feature a talented cast of Nam Nyugen, Jeanette Vannieu, Michelle Naidu, Kat Zhang, Diego Teran, Alex Franks, Tan Vu, Willah Bateman, Blake Pyne and Queen Hezumuryango.
