The recently opened iconic Kiss Bridge is also part of the unique stage show, which weaves a tale of intergalactic love between a man on Earth and a beautiful female guardian from the other side of the galaxy.
The story chronicles not only their romance but also their epic struggle against dark forces to safeguard the planets.
Audiences are whisked away on an emotional journey, during which they witness a breathtaking clash between the elemental forces of fire and water before they are swept into euphoria amid the sky-bursting fireworks, celebrating the cosmic lovers' triumph over evil.
On the night of its premiere, all 5,000 tickets for the show were sold out. Many local and international artists, such as Han Sara and Ngo Kien Huy, flew to Phu Quoc especially to enjoy the unique spectacle, which it is hoped will further raise the profile of the island as an exciting and vibrant destination.
During the show's debut, members of the audience were gasping with delight as they experienced a multi-sensory and emotional feast created by the interplay of lights, lasers, fire, water, and fireworks with the performers' acrobatics.
Lera, a visitor from Kazakhstan, said that she was blown away and surprised by this performance during her Phu Quoc trip. "I had goosebumps during nearly every scene, and the fireworks finale was next level. Honestly, I was on such a high, I felt tears welling up."
