Htwe Oo Myanmar Marionette Troupe is now participating in the International Puppet Festival and the 5th Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF), held in UAE on April 18.
The International Puppet Festival started from April 18 and it will end on April 27 and the 5th Sharjah Children's Reading Festival will be held from April 23 to May 4.
The festivals will aim at the children between 4 years to 10 years old.
"In the past, we performed at the puppet festivals held in UAE. Now, we have been invited to enjoy at the festival before Thigyan Water Festival. We are going to present animals' dances as first priority because the festivals represent for the children. We are very proud of representing Myanmar," Khin Maung Htwe from Htwe Oo Myanmar Marionette Troupe said.
A 5-member Htwe Oo Myanmar Marionette troupe will perform 11 kinds of Myanmar traditional dances for half an hour per day during the festival.
The Myanmar puppet troupe left for UAE during Thingyan Water Festival and will come back here at the end of April.
