Puppeteers from 27 countries will participate in the fourth
international puppetry festival to be held in Ha Noi from October 10 to
16, said the culture ministry''s performing arts department.
While Vietnamese puppet plays attract large audience
and won many prizes from the third International Puppetry Festival,
artists are still worried about the future of the marionettes.
The Third International Puppetry Festival kicked off
last night at Ha Noi Opera House, attracting the participation of
Vietnamese and foreign art troupes from all over the world.
