Traditional art form re-enacting the scenes and life around the rice fields. The puppeteers both male and female stand waist-deep in water to manipulate puppets making them move about and even dance on the surface of the water. The water serves not only to hide the puppeteers and strings of the puppets but also to create a trembling stage full of reflection, while providing natural amplification for singing puppeteers accompanied by percussion music and fire crackers. This was a neat way to experience Vietnamese musical and performace culture.
