The play will be performed by artists from the Vietnam Youth Theatre and the theatre of the young generation, Dresden, from Germany.

The play is part of the cultural co-operation project between the theatre and the Goethe Institute Hanoi.

German director Dominik Gunther was invited to Vietnam to work with the Vietnam Youth Theatre. This is second co-operation between the theatre and the director. Earlier, the director helped the theatre set up the ‘Caucasian Chalk Circle’ play, one of the world’s masterpieces. The work impressed audiences with a new acting and stage style.

‘The Fisherman and His Wife’ is the first collaborative project between the Vietnam Youth Theatre and the Dresden theatre. The play promises to be a meaning experience for young audiences in the two cities, Hanoi and Dresden.

The play will draw the participation of Lao Xao band, German artists Stefan Wehrenpfenning and Diethard Krause, and Vietnamese meritorious artist Chi Trung.
