The program is organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in coordination with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Vietnamese Embassy in France, the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to UNESCO, and relevant agencies.
At a press conference in Hanoi on October 2, the organizing committee said the program will feature water puppetry, spoken drama, contemporary dance, Tuong (classical Vietnamese opera), Cheo (traditional Vietnamese opera), and Cai Luong (reformed opera).
Participating institutions include the Vietnam Youth Theater, the Vietnam National Puppetry Theater and the Vietnam National Theater of Traditional Drama, among others.
