Vietnamese Water puppetry, or ‘Múa rối nước’ ,(“puppets that dance on water”) is a tradition that originated in the villages of the Red River Delta, Vietnam in the 11th century, and impromptu performance venues took the form of the flooded paddy fields. The puppeteers, standing in a waist-deep pool and hidden behind a screen, support the wooden puppets on large rods, making them appear as if they are moving on the water’s surface.
