Here in Vietnam, and especially in the countryside, bamboo is used for everything - from chopsticks, to chairs, to agricultural tools, to roofs, to instruments and to home decorations.

Dancers move in and out of the sticks, trying to time their dancing so as not to get caught between the bamboo sticks.
