À propos
Faits rapides: The puppets are controlled by puppeteers standing waist-deep in water behind a bamboo screen. The show combines live traditional music using unique instruments like the đàn bầu and drums with storytelling.
Points forts: A surprising detail is that puppeteers use long rods hidden under the water to move the lacquered wooden puppets, creating the illusion that they dance on the water’s surface. The stage itself is a 12-meter-wide pool, making the water an integral part of the performance’s magic and tradition.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes as there might be some standing or walking to and from the theater.
- Sit near the front and center for the best view of puppet movements and stage details.
- Avoid photography with flash to respect performers and other visitors.
- Arrive at least 15 minutes early to pick good seats and catch pre-show preparations.
