Particularly, a performance by the Vietnam National Puppetry Theatre was awarded the highest prize at the "Tea in Mytischi" Festival last September, which showcased 28 excellent performances by 14 art troupes from eight countries - Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Vietnam, as well as Germany, Lithuania, Moldova and host country Russia.

Vietnam’s performance titled Mau Sac Vietnam (Vietnam’s Colours) impressed the audience with its unique cultural features, traditional tunes and colours of the modern theatrical music of the country, by portraying lively poetic pictures of the landscape and everyday life.
