Before the fifth fireworks showdown of DIFF 2025, Da Nang’s Han River stands turned into a buzzing playground of light, sound, and pure creative energy. On the night of June 27, hundreds of artists, choreographers, directors, and tech crews ran a meticulous technical rehearsal—locking in every cue for a night that promises to be nothing short of electric. With South Korea’s Faseecom and Italy’s Martarello Group S.R.L. ready to blaze the sky, the theme “Technology Leads the Way” couldn’t be more fitting.

A Rehearsal That Felt Like a Premiere
The vibe? Youthful, contemporary, and full of momentum. Every segment was staged with care—tight choreography, fresh musical direction, and slick staging that put modern production values front and center.
A Setlist Crafted for Lift-Off
- Opening with a burst of color, singer Duong Hoang Yen led “Glittering Rainbow” alongside the Trung Vuong and MTE dance crews—an instant mood-lifter.
- A heartfelt nod to Korea’s cultural soul followed: “Arirang,” a folk melody recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, reimagined for a grand stage.
- The energy spiked with a K-pop mashup of “How You Like That” and “Bang Bang Bang,” delivered with punchy, crowd-pleasing choreography.
- Singer Hoang My An drove the tempo with “No More,” fueling the mid-show momentum.
- “Counting Stars,” the global hit by OneRepublic, came to life through singer Sun and the Sun dance crew—bringing an international breeze to the Han River stage.
- For a touch of classic romance, tenor Le Anh Dung performed “Melodramma” (by Italian composers Pierpaolo Guerrini and Paolo Luciani), paired beautifully with violinist Trinh Minh Hien and a graceful dance ensemble.
- The finale, “Radiant Dreams,” by artists from Da Nang’s Trung Vuong Theater, brought it all home—a hopeful, forward-looking message that mirrors the night’s tech-driven theme.

Tech That Elevates the Magic
“Technology Leads the Way” isn’t just a theme—it’s the backbone of the show. The rehearsal doubled as a full-scale systems test:
- Lift stage mechanics and moving platforms
- High-fidelity sound and LED walls
- Precision lighting design
- Augmented Reality elements integrated into the live experience
Everything ran in sync, front to back—proof of the sheer amount of craftsmanship behind a seamless night.
