Hanoi GAT Performance Guide: Date, Venue, Program, and What to Know

Yunbyul Ballet Company’s creative ballet <Gat> is listed for Hanoi on May 27, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. local time at Ho Guom Opera House in Vietnam.¹ For readers searching for the event under “Gat Fever,” the useful takeaway is that this Hanoi performance is the Vietnam presentation of a Korean creative ballet centered on traditional Korean headwear and staged within the 2026 Korea Season program.

The performance sits inside a broader cultural program in Thailand and Vietnam. South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced 2026 Korea Season with the Korean Cultural Center in Thailand, the Korean Cultural Center in Vietnam, and the Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange; the opening work is Yunbyul Ballet Company’s <Gat(Gat)>, with performances in Bangkok on May 23 and Hanoi on May 27.²

Hanoi GAT Performance: Confirmed Details

The most important planning details are the date, time, venue, company, and program context. The available source material confirms the core schedule but does not provide ticket prices, booking links, seat maps, refund policies, door-opening times, or late-seating rules. Readers planning around the event should therefore use the confirmed information below as the baseline and check official venue or organizer channels for attendance-specific instructions.

The official 2026 Korea Season listing identifies the Vietnam program as Yunbyul Ballet Company’s creative ballet <Gat>, scheduled for May 27, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. local time at Ho Guom Opera House.¹ Yonhap’s report on the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announcement also places the Hanoi performance on May 27 and identifies <Gat(Gat)> as the opening work of the Thailand-Vietnam Korea Season program.²

A related education program took place before the Hanoi performance. AsiaToday, carried via Nate News, reported that Yunbyul Ballet Company held a workshop for local ballet majors at the Vietnam National Academy of Dance in Hanoi on May 25, 2026, as a linked program for the May 27 <Gat(GAT)> performance at Ho Guom Opera House.³

What <Gat> Presents on Stage

<Gat> is a creative ballet built around Korean traditional headwear rather than a simple costume display. NewDaily reports that the work premiered in 2024 and unfolds the symbolism and functions of hats including yeoheukrip, jurip, jeongjagwan, satgat, paeraengi, and jokduri across nine scenes.⁴

That framing is useful for first-time viewers. The title refers to the gat, but the work’s source material points to a broader stage language: hats become markers of social role, character, story, and movement. A NOL Ticket notice for the March 28-29, 2026 Seoul performances at Mapo Art Center Art Hall Mac described <Gat GAT> as a ballet based on the Korean traditional hat, incorporating types such as heukrip, jurip, and jokduri, as well as folktale material including Nolbu.⁵

The piece also has a domestic performance history before the Hanoi presentation. Yonhap’s March 2026 interview coverage described <Gat> as a Yunbyul Ballet Company representative work that premiered in 2024, toured Korea in 2025, and reinterprets items such as heukrip, satgat, and jokduri through modern music and dance.⁶ In that same coverage, choreographer Park So-yeon and composer Choi Min-ji said they believe tradition can become a new individuality when it is combined with contemporary expression.⁶

For a practical viewing approach, do not expect the sources to support a detailed scene-by-scene synopsis here. What is confirmed is the structure: the ballet uses multiple traditional hat forms and their meanings as the basis for staged scenes. Viewers can watch for how each headpiece changes posture, rhythm, status, and dramatic tone.

Planning Notes for Hanoi Viewers

Because the source material confirms the performance time as 7:30 p.m. local time but does not provide arrival rules, the safest planning assumption is simply to treat the listed start time as fixed and verify operational details separately. The sources do not confirm public ticket availability, free admission, invitation-only access, age guidance, program length, cast list, or language services.

The event’s institutional context is also relevant. NewDaily describes 2026 Korea Season as a year-round Korean culture program connected to the reopening of the Korean Cultural Center in Thailand and the 20th anniversary of the Korean Cultural Center in Vietnam.⁴ Yonhap reported that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism positioned the Thailand and Vietnam events as cultural exchange programming.²
