The 4th International Experimental Theatre Festival is underway in Hanoi, with foreign and domestic troupes staging a series of enticing plays.
Opening on October 4, the 10-day show introduces 21 plays brought about by 14 troupes from host Vietnam, while seven others from Hungary, Israel, India, the Republic of Korea, China, Singapore, and Greece bring to the show seven plays.
