Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater

18.00: Pick up at your hotel to start the trip . 18.30: Enjoy the unique art of water puppet show, a traditional art form closely connected with the long-standing spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It is performed in a pool of water with the water surface being the stage. The puppeteers stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanism hidden beneath the water surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides background music accompaniment. Singers with origin in North Vietnam sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets (are carved out of wood). Although the authentic shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and are easy to understand. The shows typically last for one hour and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.. 19.15: Continue to the harbor by cyclo for a dinner cruise; enjoy the city lights & panoramic views of Ho Chi Minh City . Enjoy sumptuous Vietnamese cuisine on this magical dinner cruise aboard a traditional-style Dragon Boat. 21.30: End of services.

Nice traditional show. The seats are a bit hard and not very comfortable but for 45 minutes it passes. The show and music are poetic, very nice to see.

ベトナムの伝統芸能も楽しみたく、ツアーで見学しました。初めて見るのに、とこかで見た記憶。それは、ひょっこりひょうたん島の人形劇です。幼きころの忘れていた記憶が、呼び戻されました。
