Water Puppet Show in Hanoi Vietnam (Thang Long Water Puppet Theater)
The world-famous Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre in Hanoi has its roots in an art form that dates back to the 11th century. The tradition of water puppet theatre stems from a time when rice paddy fields were flooded and villagers would make entertainment by standing in the waist-deep water with the puppets performing over the water. Using large rods to support the puppets it appeared as if they were moving across the water with the puppeteers hidden behind a screen.

Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre - Hanoi April 2013.
Vietnamese water puppetry (Mua Roi Nuoc) originated in the Red River Delta region of Dai Viet (northern Vietnam) sometime around the 11th /12th century AD.
I have followed the puppets since first seeing them perform on Hoan Kiem Lake (Hanoi) in 1989. Over the years the theatre company has moved on from the lake, but never far from it ...it's where Thang Long Water Puppets began!
They are so popular today that there are 6 or 7 shows each day ...always to packed houses. This 13 min video is a sampling of the very latest show (Apr/May 2013) - ENJOY!

Vietnamese Water Puppet shows date back as far as the 11th century. Today the most famous spot to watch them is Thang Long Theatre in downtown Ha Noi. A very colourful event by which the puppeteers do their job behind bamboo curtains, manipulating their puppets with meterlong poles which are hidden under water, and the orchestra not just playing the accompanying music but also lend their voices to the puppets themselves.

Water Puppet Show Performance (Múa rối nước) at Thang Long Theatre in Hanoi, Vietnam Travel Video
On our very last day of travel in Vietnam we decided to watch a Water Puppet Show (known locally as Múa rối nước) at Thang Long Theatre in Hanoi, Vietnam. As one of the top attractions in Hanoi, we knew this was something we couldn't afford to miss out on, even though our time in this city was very limited. This was scheduled to be our last activity in Vietnam before we depart on a journey that will take us to our new headquarters for the next three months. We figured it was a fitting way to end what was a wonderful month of travels in Vietnam.

Water puppetry literally refers to puppets that dance on water which is a traditional Vietnamese art that dates back to the eleventh century in northern sections of Vietnam. Water Puppet Performances take place in various locations throughout the country; however, Hanoi has a reputation for being the 'it' place to take in the experience.
Puppeteers are concealed behind a screen in waist deep water wielding puppets that are controlled via large rods and strings. It's truly a work of art how they're able to move the puppets with such precision and coordination. I'm guessing it must take hours of training, perfected over years of hard work, to get to the level where they can perform with such confidence.
The performances are centered chiefly around Vietnamese Folklore with emphasis on traditional ways of life, spirituality, and day to day existence that was passed on from one generation to another; it literally amazes me to think that this performance art form dates back so many years.
The puppets are accompanied by a traditional Vietnamese orchestra that provides background music including the use of bells, cymbals, gongs and flutes. In my opinion, the music is as much an appealing part of the show as the performance itself. Although I've listened to traditional Vietnamese folk music being played while touring the Mekong Delta, I felt the skill level from these musicians put them in a league of their own.
For those interested in watching a performance, The Thang Long Theater in Hanoi, provides several daily shows in the evening. It's recommended you book tickets in advance if you have a particular showtime in mind or if you want specific seats.
We purchased tickets for 100,000 Vietnamese Dong (roughly $5 USD) and we would recommend the show to anyone as a way to experience traditional Vietnamese culture in an authentic environment:
Water puppetry (Vietnamese: Múa rối nước, lit. puppets that dance on water) is a tradition that dates back as far as the 11th century when it originated in the villages of the Red River Delta area of northern Vietnam. Today's Vietnamese water puppetry is a unique variation on the ancient Asian puppet tradition.
The puppets are made out of wood and then lacquered. The shows are performed in a waist-deep pool. A large rod supports the puppet under the water and is used by the puppeteers, who are normally hidden behind a screen, to control them. Thus the puppets appear to be moving over the water. When the rice fields would flood, the villagers would entertain each other using this form of puppet play.
Múa rối nước is considered to have originated in the delta of the Red river in Vietnam in the 11th century, and the art remains highly developed today in this country. Some of the earliest troupes were found in the Nguyên Xá commune, Đông Hưng district, Thai Binh province.
Vào ngày cuối cùng của chúng tôi đi du lịch ở Việt Nam chúng tôi quyết định xem hát múa rối nước (địa phương gọi là Mua roi nuoc) tại Nhà hát Thăng Long, Hà Nội, Việt Nam. Là một trong những điểm thu hút hàng đầu ở Hà Nội, chúng tôi biết đây là một cái gì đó chúng tôi không thể đủ khả năng để bỏ lỡ, mặc dù thời gian của chúng tôi ở thành phố này là rất hạn chế. Điều này đã được dự kiến sẽ hoạt động cuối cùng của chúng tôi ở Việt Nam trước khi chúng tôi đi trên một cuộc hành trình sẽ đưa chúng tôi đến trụ sở mới của chúng tôi trong
