The puppeteers will stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms which are hidden beneath the water surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra will provides background music accompaniment, and singers with origins in north Vietnam will sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets ( are carved out of wood). Although the authentic shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.
