Water Puppetry is a traditional art form with distinctive culture identity of Vietnam. It came into existence, developed and diversified over a thousand years ago in the Red River Delta. Thanks to unique performances on the water, this puppetry art is famous and highly appreciated all over the world.
In early days, water puppetry showed the daily life of villagers such as farming, fishing, romance and children playing. Now, the topics of the plays are also picked from ancient legends, myths and historic stages.

Nice for young and old to visit this show, it is necessary to book tickets early on the same day or the day before to get a seat in the first rows.

Disappointed with the quality of the performance. Theatre was not well cooled. Singers mics were way too loud was hoping for better

The show was amazing and language though in Vietnamese was not a barrier. English translation was available on the LED screen. The simple child like joy of watching simple narratives made the show enjoyable. Until half the show we were trying to guess how the puppeteers were operating especially during the narrative of the fox trying to get the ducks. Later we did figure it out but the uniqueness of this form made it worthwhile.

We visited at the end of the day as part of our guided tour. The show was fun and my 2 teenage sons enjoyed it! Which was great as I was afraid they won’t like it. The show consists of several episodes and each has description in English and French that comes on the wall for everyone to read. The puppet masters are very skilful . It is a great form of entertainment. You could also see a short version in ethnical museum performed on the lake. However this show is in a very comfortable air con theatre with great sound and life music ! Really glad we managed to experience this

Show was great, It was a little disappointing as there was no queue and we still had to wait at the front desk while they sorted our tickets. Show was mostly empty of audience and our seats were right at the back so I could have bought the tickets locally at a cheaper price.

Booking was a breeze, the show began on time. This is the first water puppet show we saw and we liked it. It was in Vietnamese but the large screens had the story in English and French and so was able to follow
