Have you ever seen a water puppet show? It was special and wonderful. It is a unique tradition of Vietnam. Children love the shows and tourists coming to Vietnam also love this type of art.
Water puppetry is a traditional art form. It started in the 11th century. It originated in the villages of the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam. Performances are performed in the pool. The puppets are driven by underwater ropes and are performed by puppeteers behind the veil, so they seem to move across the water.The puppets are made of wood and then painted. .
The topics of the puppet shows are very rural, about the countryside: the show shows daily life in the countryside and folk tales. There are stories about Vietnamese rice farming, fishing and village festivals.
