Water Puppet Theatre

Water puppet shows are a Vietnamese entertainment begun long ago by farmers.  Once performed in natural waterways, water puppet shows can now be seen in special theatres.  The theatres feature a water-stage and a live band playing traditional instruments.  The puppets are wooden dolls set on long bamboo poles and tell stories about rural daily life in Vietnam. 















A closer look at the puppets can be found at many tourist shops throughout Hanoi.
