With the entrance ticket, you have the chance to relish the fascinating art of a water puppet show, which is closely associated with the spiritual life of Vietnamese people, especially in the countryside. The show’s chosen stage is the surface of a water pool. The puppeteers present their clever skills in managing puppets with long bamboo rods and string mechanisms under the surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra is an excellent musical accompaniment.
The puppets depict the story from the songs during the show, which reflects the peaceful life of the Vietnamese countryside, so it is not too difficult to understand it.
