Performers Đức Thịnh and Thu Trang captivated the audience with their breathtaking aerial acrobatics.

Their performance was based on the tragic love story of a young couple on Lang Biang, a famous mountain in Việt Nam's Central Highlands region.

Despite many similar love-themed performances at the festival, the "Lang Biang Love Story" stood out for its meticulous choreography and exceptional technical skill, winning praise from both international audiences and colleagues.

In addition to the silver prize, the performance won two minor prizes from Mexico and Russia.

The festival drew the participation of more than 200 artists from 15 countries, including Ethiopia, Germany, and China. VNA/VNS
