The play “Cong Chua Toc May” produced by the Thang Long Puppetry Theatre. The
45-minute show is a combination of different kinds of puppetry such as water
puppetry, and rode and string puppetry.
Meritorious artist Nguyen Phuong Nhi said through characteristics in the fairy
world such as the mermaid, princess, prince, witch, and animals familiar to
children like puppy, crow and python, the play conveys a message calling on
people to join hands in combating climate change, protecting the environment and
saving energy.
The Cong Chua Toc May play will be performed widely to the public after the
international festival.
The fifth International Puppetry Festival is expected to see the participation
of puppetry troupes from Thailand, France, the Philippines, Brazil, Cambodia and
China.
Four Vietnamese art units – the Thang Long Puppetry Theatre, Vietnam Puppetry
Theatre, Ho Chi Minh City puppetry art troupe, and Hai Phong puppetry art
troupe, will join the event.
