VTV.vn - The “Europe meets Asia in Contemporary Dance 2015” festival will take place for the 5th time in Hanoi and HCMC between September 30 and October 4.

In addition, there will be a co-production of Belgium and Vietnam. A special highlight of this year’s dance festival will be a performance by the internationally renowned Compagnie Sasha Waltz & Guests dance crew from Berlin at the Hanoi Opera House.

In Hanoi, the festival will mostly take place at Youth Theatre Hanoi, 11 Ngo Thi Nham Street. The German troupe will perform on October 2 and 3 at Hanoi Opera House, 1 Trang Tien Street.
