A 21-strong art troupe from Bangladesh will make a tour of Vietnam from Nov. 22 -27, 2008 to mark the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
The troupe plans to put on shows at the Hanoi Opera House and the Military Theatre, entertaining local audiences with performances of Manipuri classical dance, which can trace its origins to an ethnic minority group in the northeastern region of Bangladesh.
A series of folk and semi-classical dances, including Maya lagaiche, and Tagore songs will be performed during the shows.
In addition, the visiting artists will perform a special dance representing the Vietnam-Bangladesh friendship, accompanied by modern songs composed by musicians from both countries.
