Full description
Enjoy a performance of fascinating Vietnamese art during a traditional 45-minute water puppet show. The stories told with water puppets are closely associated with the spiritual life of Vietnamese people, especially in the countryside. The stage for the show is the surface of a water pool. Puppeteers demonstrate their clever skills by managing puppets with long bamboo rods and a string mechanism under the surface of the water. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides musical accompaniment. The puppets act out the stories told by the songs, which reflect the peaceful life of the Vietnamese countryside.

The theatre was small but comfortable. The ‘band’ was good. I love traditional Vietnamese music although I don’t understand. I don’t understand the story of the puppet show too. Overall it was entertaining with the various movements of the puppet. Never a dull moment. It would be good if they have English translation as there are so many foreign spectators.

It was very easy to book the tickets. I received an email with the confirmation booking, showed this to the ticket office at the event, exactly as the email said. Within seconds I had my entry ticket. The show was very cultural, funny and exciting. Would highly recommend when you are in Saigon.

A charming hour of cute puppets telling little stories, all the while splashing through water. Even without translation, I followed the stories. The puppeteers are very talented, even making the puppets show emotion. A grand finale of a fire-breathing dragon was a surprise.
