The Vietnam Circus Federation's (VCF) aerial duo performance "Lang Biang Love Story" won a silver and two minor prizes at the third Borderless International Circus Festival, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, from September 12-16.

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

According to People's Artist Tong Toan Thang, director of the VCF, performers Duc Thinh 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 Vietnam'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 audience and colleagues.

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