EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the grand 40th Birthday Celebrations of Emperor Khai Dinh of Vietnam, held on 8th October 1925. Amidst the pomp and pageantry of the parade, a group of dancers from the northern regions of Vietnam gracefully perform a traditional dance. The emperor, who ruled from 1916 until his death in 1925, was a controversial figure in Vietnamese history. He was accused of selling out his country to the French occupiers and living in imperial luxury while the people were exploited by France. Despite his unpopularity, the 40th Birthday Celebrations were an opportunity for the emperor to showcase his power and wealth, and the parade was a grand theatrical performance filled with actors, performers, and entertainers in elaborate costumes. The dancers in this photograph, with their intricate headdresses and flowing garments, embody the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of imperial grandeur and traditional arts.
