New puppet show for a glimpse of Vietnamese culture

The Vietnam Puppet Theater is excited to introduce a new show for visitors titled “Trang” (The Moon). This production marks the premiere of a distinctive puppet performance set on a large stage.

The moon symbol has woven its way through numerous works of literature and music by Vietnamese artists. In the tranquil night, everything is bathed in a soft glow as people relish the comforting illumination. By incorporating this intimate imagery and blending contemporary puppetry with traditional music, the Vietnam Puppet Theater aims to provide an experience that transcends mere entertainment.

The narrative does not stem from a single story; rather, it serves as a vibrant tapestry reflecting Vietnam’s national identity. The moon acts as a guiding motif, leading audiences through the lush paddy fields of the North, the graceful lotus dances of the Central region, and the lively river life of the South.

Throughout the performance, the diverse cultural characteristics of various ethnic groups are showcased, promising a delightful yet meaningful experience for both local and international guests.

The show features an array of puppetry styles, including water, land, and human elements. A meticulous attention to detail in colors and shapes positions the new “Trang” as a standout attraction among other forms of entertainment.
