Itinerary
Start of Show (6:30PM)
Enjoy the unique art of a 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 mechanisms hidden beneath the water's surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides accompanying background music. Singers originating from North Vietnam sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets which 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 colourful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.End of Show (7:15PM)

Good experienced
It was a beautiful, magical performance! We loved the traditional music and seeing all the puppets/their stories! Thank you for showing the puppeteers at the end too! It was amazing to recognize all their hard work at the end of the show!
On the day of the show, there will be someone at the side who will check your booking and pass you the actual ticket with the assigned seats to you, so do not go in directly with the Pelango tickets. The Puppet show is nice. Although the language is in Vietnamise, it is easy to understand based on the story and tagline.
The show was amazing, I've never seen anything like this before. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm so intrigued by how they do it. The only downfall was it was very loud so if you are very sensitive to noise maybe take some earplugs or sit further back. Also it is obviously in Vietnamese so don't expect to fully follow the story, but still very beautiful to watch.
Very entertaining show, had no idea what it was about but the music and puppetry was first class. The show running time was also very good - 45 minutes on the dot. Big plus - the cooling in the theater was running full press.
Confirmation was almost immediate. Easy to get tickets. I booked the night before the show was surprised to get good seats. The tickets collection was a breeze. The person at theatre entrance verified my booking and passed me the 5 tickets.
