The Lotus Water Puppet Theater offers a magical display of traditional Vietnamese water puppetry, an art form that dates back to the 11th century.

The stage is a pool of water! Puppets dance, glide, and splash across the surface, telling folklore tales, village life stories, and legends with live music

Enjoy a traditional Vietnamese orchestra playing authentic instruments alongside the performance.
