Let's Explore the AFTER GLOW Show

AFTER GLOW Show — a bright artistic spot amidst the white clouds of Ba Na, where visitors find an unforgettable visual and musical feast. In this article, we will analyze in detail each piece that makes After Glow, from cabaret art, avant-garde Rococo costumes to audience experience, performance schedule, and how to book tickets.

After Glow is not just a performance; it is a comprehensive experience of performance, design, makeup, sound, and audience interaction. With the participation of experienced artists and the creative direction of Vịt Đen, After Glow has quickly become a must-visit entertainment spot at night in Ba Na. This article is for travel managers, event organizers, art enthusiasts, and tourists who want to gain a deeper understanding of how a modern cabaret show operates and captivates its audience.

Overview of the AFTER GLOW Show at Ba Na Hills

The AFTER GLOW Show appears as a declaration: cabaret is not a thing of the past but can be vividly recreated to suit contemporary audiences. The Ba Na context — with its cool climate, majestic landscapes, and large tourist influx — is the ideal location for developing this form of entertainment. 

After Glow takes place at Secret Box, Beer Plaza, with fixed performance times of 13:30 - 14:00 & 18:30 - 19:00 (except Tuesdays), making it convenient for both daytime visitors and overnight guests.

After Glow is designed to serve both small groups and large audiences, optimizing close interaction between artists and the audience — true to the spirit of traditional cabaret but with enhanced performance techniques, sound, lighting, and script. 

The interactive element is the distinguishing feature: the audience is invited to feel the expressions, see the details of the costumes and makeup up close; this enhances the emotions and memorability of the experience.

After Glow also serves as a cultural tourism product: according to internal surveys from vebanahill.vn and customer feedback, unique performances like After Glow contribute to increasing tourists' average stay in the Ba Na area by 0.8-1.2 days. This is an important trend in developing experiential tourism products: when a destination offers quality artistic experiences, tourists stay longer and spend more on local services.

In Ba Na, After Glow does not operate independently: the program is linked with tour routes, restaurants, and bars to keep guests in the area. This integration increases the value of each visitor — a strategy that can be replicated for other tourist destinations looking to develop night-time economies.

The Pieces that Create the "Visual Feast" After Glow

After Glow is a symphony of many small elements combined into an emotionally rich whole. Here are the key "pieces" that have been creatively reimagined to turn the show into a vibrant visual feast.

• Intimate Cabaret Art: The cabaret at After Glow breaks down the large stage barriers, bringing artists closer to the audience. This feature creates a sense of familiarity, direct interaction, and immediate response — elements that create surprising and memorable moments. In many performances, the production team has organized interactive moments where the audience is invited to participate in a short scene, enhancing the emotional experience.

• Sharp Makeup (makeup & masks): Makeup at After Glow is not just about painting; it is a language of expression. The intricate makeup emphasizes the eyes, cheekbones, and contours so that every movement tells a story. Makeup artists use deep contouring techniques, controlled highlighting, and metallic accessories to ensure the face reflects stage lights, becoming a highlight even from a close distance.

• Avant-garde Rococo Costumes: The costume design combines the royal French Rococo style with modern seductive Boudoir aesthetics. The result is outfits that are both sparkling and body-hugging, allowing artists to move flexibly while maintaining high theatricality. The fabric materials are highly elastic, with intricate details at the collar, sleeves, and skirts creating effects of flaring, draping, and silhouette when performing under lights.

• Dance of Freedom: Under the creative direction of Vịt Đen, After Glow explores multi-genre choreography — from traditional cabaret, burlesque to contemporary and street jazz. This blending increases the element of surprise and keeps the audience eagerly anticipating the next step. The choreography at After Glow focuses on breath, interaction between performers and the audience, along with valuable solo moments.

The skillful coordination of the above pieces has made After Glow an engaging artistic event: the audience not only watches but also "lives" the story on stage.

Cabaret Art: Modern Expression at After Glow

Cabaret originated in Europe, thriving in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a performance form combining comedy, singing, and dancing in small, intimate spaces. The characteristics of cabaret include interactivity, humor, sensuality, and sometimes social satire. After Glow inherits this spirit but is innovated to suit modern audiences, especially tourists.

In After Glow, Cabaret is not confined to old scripts. Director Vịt Đen prioritizes flexibility: the performance can adapt according to audience reactions, adding interactive dance segments or unexpected solo moments. This requires a versatile cast with strong communication skills, improvisation, and high stamina. For example, a typical performance begins with a short monologue, then transitions to a Boudoir-Rococo dance number, ending with an interactive sing-along with the audience.

Technically, After Glow uses a compact surround sound system and directional lighting (spotlight) to emphasize each character's expressions. The lighting design utilizes alternating warm and cool tones to create depth in space and emotion. This combination helps the show create distinct climaxes: from romantic, gentle moments to brilliant explosive points.

An effective illustration: after 6 months of implementing the interactive cabaret strategy, After Glow nights recorded an 18% increase in return visitor rates according to internal ticket sales data from Nano Travel, indicating that the modern cabaret model has the potential to build a loyal customer community.

Outstanding Costumes, Makeup, and Stage Design

To create a strong visual impression, After Glow invests heavily in costumes, makeup, and scenography (stage design). Each element is standardized according to a professional production process to ensure safety, aesthetics, and performance effectiveness.

1. Costume Design: The designer uses Rococo shapes (shiny, pleated, lace) but tailors them in a modern form, allowing artists to move. Glittery fabric, stretchy silk, and elastic mesh are combined to achieve optimal effects under lights. Details like padded corsets, ties, and clasps ensure safety during vigorous movements.
2. Makeup & Shaping: The makeup process for After Glow includes a proper base, deep contouring, strategic highlighting, and a light-catching powder layer to make the face shine. Additionally, the use of accessories (glitter, rhinestones, false eyelashes) is considered to enhance effects under LED lights. Makeup artists must account for stage temperature, sweat intensity, and performance duration to choose long-lasting, skin-safe products.
3. Stage and Lighting Design: Secret Box Beer Plaza has a close space, so the stage design prioritizes small depth, mobile modules, and backdrop frames for quick changes between performances. The lighting is programmed to sync with each music segment, using spotlight, backlight, and gobo projection for pattern effects. As a result, a small movement from the artist can create a large artistic shadow on the backdrop.
4. Logistics & Safety: Safety is emphasized by checking costumes, shoes, and props before each performance. The backstage team, including sound technicians, lighting, artistic directors, and wardrobe, always operates according to a professional checklist.

Thanks to a professional team and attention to detail, After Glow achieves high stage effects while maintaining the intimacy of cabaret.
