WATER PUPPETRY
Vietnamese water puppetry is a unique folk art. It's said that ‘Not watching a performance of
water puppetry means not visiting Vietnam yet.' That's why water puppetry is a must-see show for
tourists in Vietnam. Watching this show can help you escape from your busy life and refresh your
minds with unforgettable moments.
During the shows, you can only see the puppets and a small folk orchestra of about 7 people; the
puppeteers stand behind a curtained backdrop in a pool. All puppets are made of fig wood which
goes along well with water. Then they are carved and painted. The themes of the shows are very
familiar to Vietnamese people. They focus on the daily life of farmers and common aspects of
Vietnamese spiritual life.
Vietnamese water puppetry has been introduced to many countries all over the world and
received much love from audiences. Foreigners don't understand Vietnamese, but they enjoy the
shows because the puppets clearly demonstrate Vietnamese life and culture through their
actions. Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre on Dinh Tien Hoang Street near Hoan Kiem Lake is the

recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started
writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop
music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written
themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs.
