HA NOI (VNS)— Two young artists from the Tuoi Tre (Youth) Theatre are representing Viet Nam at the International Stage Festival for Children in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Anh Tu and Si Tien are performing at the event, which began yesterday and will run until Saturday. The duo have directed many pieces for children in the past, and put on children's shows for free as members of the Youth Theatre troupe, which is a part of ASSITEJ (the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People).

The Israeli festival attracts many troupes and artists from around the world to share experiences creating plays for children in different fields, such as contemporary dance, puppetry and drama.

Last week, Truong Nhuan, the Youth Theatre's director, led a group of artists to perform at an international performing event for the disabled in New Delhi.

The annual event has been held since 2003, and this year gathered more than 100 artists including disabled ones from 20 countries in the world. — VNS
