With the aim of calling for help for Vietnamese Agent Orange/Dioxin victims, the troupe, called “Peach Blossom”, is scheduled to deliver performances in 20 localities from the centre to the south of Japan, including Tokyo city, Chiba, Fukuoka and Hiroshima prefectures.

The troupe includes artists those from the Bong Sen Theatre and the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory.

According to Nguyen Hoang Kim Quang, head of the Bong Sen theatre, the event, to mark the 35^th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, does not only aim to raise funds for AO victims in northern province of Thai Binh, but also help Japanese audiences understand more about Vietnamese traditional musical instruments in particular, and the country’s culture in general.
