The artists come from Vietnam’s Thang Long Puppetry Theater, Germany’s Annafabuli Puppet Theater, and Russia’s Moscow State Puppet Theater.

The fourth International Puppetry Festival, running in Hanoi since last Saturday, has drawn puppeteers from Vietnam and nine other countries.

The event offers an opportunity for Vietnamese artists to share experience with their foreign colleagues and tighter relations between Vietnam and other nations around the world.
