A 12-strong puppet troupe from the Central Puppet Theatre will leave for Myanmar on January 16 to take part in a traditional arts festival to mark the third ASEAN and ASEAN+3 Cultural Ministers’ Meeting.

During the “Puppetry: the Asian Heritage” festival, the Vietnamese delegation, led by the theatre’s Deputy Director Ngo Thanh Thuy, will give special puppet performances using different techniques such as by sticks or hands.
