This is a cultural and artistic activity with profound humanitarian significance, aiming to bring the unique traditional puppet art of the Vietnamese people closer to ethnic minority communities, thereby contributing to enriching their spiritual lives and creating a joyful and warm atmosphere for the people in the highlands during the New Year.
This event is also part of a series of activities to introduce and promote puppet art to the general public, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Viet Nam Puppet Theatre (March 12, 1956 - 2026).
On January 26, the Viet Nam Puppet Theatre held performances at three schools in Lung Cu commune: Lung Cu Ethnic Boarding Secondary School; Lung Cu Ethnic Boarding Primary School; and Lung Cu Kindergarten. That evening, the programme continued with performances at Yen Minh Square.
Continuing the series of activities, on the evening of January 27, 2026, the Viet Nam Puppet Theatre will perform for local people at Tam Son town square (Quan Ba).
People’s Artist Nguyen Tien Dung, Director of the Viet Nam Puppet Theatre, shared: “Each trip to the highlands is not just a tour for us, but also a demonstration of the social responsibility and sharing spirit of the Theatre’s artists towards the people in remote areas. The laughter of the children and the eager anticipation of the people are the motivation for us to continue preserving and spreading traditional puppet art. We hope that through each performance, the people will feel the affection, respect, love, and sincere hearts of the Theatre’s artists for the people in the highlands.”
