Water Puppets

by bpacker - last update: Feb 3, 2005

Witness the grandeur on water. The orchestra is to the left of the stage
Puppets at play.
Pyrotechnics sizzle as dragons dance on water.
A turtle snatches away a sword from an Emperor.
Puppeteers taking a bow at the end.
Note the contruction in the foreground. This how a water puppet theatre would look like in a river. These theatres are usually constructed during the rainy season along the banks of the Mekong Delta.

 The dish costs 100.000 dong today. So it is definitely a lot cheaper than mentioned in this article.

 What an interesting and fun page, Glen. I had a blast looking it all over. I think Vietnam is a place we want to go someday.
