Water puppetry is a tradition that dates back as far as the 11th century when it originated in the villages of the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam. At present, Vietnamese water puppetry is a unique variation of the ancient Asian puppet tradition.
Beside water puppet performances, Vietnamese and Japanese artists will co-perform folk songs and musical instruments during the event.
