Head of the Performing Arts Department Nguyen Dang Chuong said that a new feature of this year’s festival is that apart from competing performances, participating troupes will perform in provinces of Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Hai Duong, Vinh Phuc and Thanh Hoa.
The performances will help improve local spiritual life as well as help foreign friends understand more about Vietnamese culture.
Vietnam is famous globally for its unique and attractive water puppetry.
Water puppetry is believed to have originated from the villages of the Red River Delta in the 11th century when the performing guilds of nine northern provinces practiced the art.
