Water puppetry is a traditional and alsethic performing art in Vietnamese delta civilization. Annualy, on such special occasions as Lunar New Year or Mid Autumn Fesstival, follks and children gather around staging area where the puppets begin to tell ancient stories, or daily activities after a hard-working season. Water puppetry represents for the intellect of workers who has the artist’s soul.

The water puppet consists of two main parts: puppets and water. The puppet is the simple wooden sculpted puppets with hard lines and simple color. But  their combination with water that is liquid and soft creates phenomenal virtualization. Because it is created by farmers to entertain after hard-working crops, it still carries the rustic nature of Vietnamese people.

Today, the stage is invested and moved into the indoor stage, with the purpose of development and preservation. However, artisans still try to retain the tradition from the ancient. Currently, with the help of the departments and the enthusiasm of the artists, puppets have been brought into the big cities and traditional art performance spots to reach a large number of modern citizen.
