![]() The water aspect is thought to have come into play when large floods hit the rice paddies of the Red River Delta and farmers adapted their traditional puppetry, operating the wooden figures from waist-deep water. The farmers constructed pagodas above their rice paddies and held community festival shows to display their creations and well-honed puppeteering skills. Water puppetry means “making puppets dance on water”. They also believed that the shows kept the naughty spirits away from any mischief that could harm their crops. The art dates back to the 11th century in northern Vietnam’s Red River Delta when rice farmers began to make puppets and put on shows to entertain their families and neighbors after the difficult harvest season was over. Even today, when visitors to Hanoi flock to the main theatre to witness the unusual art, it is unknown how the small figures are mastered so effortlessly by hidden puppeteers. Water puppetry, also known as Múa rối nước in Vietnam, means “making puppets dance on water.” It is a Vietnamese tradition steeped in history, folklore, and mystery. Here’s a quick primer on Vietnam’s fantastic water puppets. View scenes from village life on a moving stage, learn about festivals and traditions and meet quirky characters based on Vietnamese personalities.
