Water Pupper Performance

Water Pupper
Performance
Puppet-showroom in
Nhan Hoa (Vinh Bao district) is erected at the middle of village's pond with
bamboo screen in the front. Artists with poles for controlling the puppet
soaking themselves in the water. These puppets are made of wood, oil-painted
and have no real clothes. This oil-painting colour of the puppets once adjacent
with the lithe water, under the light of fireworks, big fire-cracker, and
sky-rocket sparkle becomes more and more glistening blending with water, and
fire...
People stand around
the pond applauding plays such as:
'Treu ong, ong dot'
(Teasing bees, bit by bees); 'Mua rong' (Dragon performance); 'Choi Trau' (Buffalo fighting); 'Danh
cao, Bat vit' (Beating foxes, catching ducks)... Among them, what people like
most is 'Chu Teu' play... It is about a popular, quaint, joyful and friendly
character representing life of the Vietnamese.
