    Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Vietnamese water puppetry. This unique art form, deeply rooted in the spiritual traditions of Vietnam, comes to life before your eyes in a mesmerizing aquatic theatre. Watch in wonder as skilled puppeteers, hidden behind a screen, manipulate wooden puppets using long bamboo rods and intricate string mechanisms beneath the water's surface. As the puppets dance across their liquid stage, you'll be treated to the melodious sounds of a traditional Vietnamese orchestra. The air fills with the soulful vocals of singers from North Vietnam, their lyrics weaving tales of rural life and ancient legends. Though performed in Vietnamese, the visual spectacle transcends language barriers, offering an hour of colorful entertainment that provides a window into Vietnam's rich cultural heritage
