The story centres on Tuong who had to escape from arebellion and sail on a distant sea route, the organisers said at apress briefing earlier this week in HCM City.
At the end of a long voyage, he landed at Ongjin land on southern Korea Peninsula (known as the Goryeo nation at the time).
The Vietnamese prince not only helped defeat a band of pirates whohad caused problems for the local people, but also repulsed Mongoltroops with his courage and unsurpassed resourcefulness.
He served the Goryeo nation in a high ranking position, and his sons were appointed to govern areas as well.
About 2,000 descendents of the Ly dynasty have lived in South Korea over the last 800 years.
Based on a true story, the script for 800 Nam Hen Uoc (Promise to800) was written by stage director Jung Sun-goo and the choreography isby dancer Chun Yoo-oh.
