THANG LONG WATER PUPPET THEATRE
Don’t leave Ha Noi without seeing a Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre show. Water puppetry appeared for the first time in the Red River delta. The themes of the shows are usually about life in the country and Vietnamese folk tales. The colours and movements of the puppets in the shows are really interesting. The puppets are carved out of wood and painted with bright colours. The water and lighting give a great view. A show lasts about an hour. The performances are given by a group of talented actors and accompanied by a traditional Vietnamese band.
