Liquid Vietnam - Slideshow from a Watery Landscape

Water Puppetry
Water puppetry is a thousand-year-old tradition in Vietnam that for centuries was performed only in small local communities in the Red River Delta. Still a very serious art (puppeteers with the famous Thang Long troupe must apprentice for a minimum of six years), the shows performed today in Hanoi continue to tell tales of life in the delta villages.
