Water Puppetry
Water Puppetry is a traditional Vietnamese art form that involves puppets performing on water. The puppets are made of wood and are often painted in bright colors. Performers control the puppets using long rods from behind a screen, creating the illusion that they are moving on the water's surface.
This unique performance art dates back to the 11th century and is often accompanied by live music and storytelling. Water Puppetry showcases various themes, including folklore, daily life, and historical events, making it a vibrant reflection of Vietnamese culture and traditions.
