The festival included Hip-Hop, Tanz and DJ, a German-Vietnamese hip-hop programme that aims to enhance connections between German and Vietnamese dancers and musicians.
The show also featured DJ Mirko Machine and hip-hop dancer and choreographer Raphael Hillbrand, with the Vietnamese dance group SINE Crew.

At Hip-Hop, Tanz and DJ, the artists staged contemporary dances with hip-hop beats accompanied by sound and light effects.
