Water Puppet Show, Hanoi - Vietnam 4K Travel Channel
The Water Puppet Show in Hanoi is something special because one finds water puppet theaters only in Vietnam. The operators of the dolls which move these over 3 to 4 m long bars are hidden behind a bamboo curtain. The puppets move above a water surface, the bars are hidden in the water. About wire rope hoist one can move an individual doll or more dolls simultaneously. Artistic movements are performed, sometimes really acrobatic.
Popular scenes originate from the country life or deal with Vietnamese legends. The legend of the town foundation of Hanoi included. A special sword was handed over by the gods to king Le Loi, with which he drove the Chinese from Vietnam . During a boat trip on the Hoan-Kiem lake, a golden turtle stole the sword to give it back to the gods. The scenes are embellished with firework, smoke and coloured illumination . In addition, mythical creatures and fire spitting dragon must not be missing .
In Hanoi there are two such theaters. We visit the ROI Nước Bông Sen at the junction of Hang Trong and Le Thai To. At the end of the presentation we realize that 9 operators are all the time in the waist-deep water. A small orchestra accompanies the performance and the members give each dolls her voice.
We also learn that the actors are students who want to preserve the Vietnamese cultural heritage.
We enjoyed this unusual experience very much.
Another water puppet theater can be found in Ho Chi Minh City.

Das Wasserpuppentheater in Hanoi ist etwas besonderes, denn Wasserpuppentheater findet man nur in Vietnam.
Hinter einem Bambusvorhang sind die Bediener der Puppen verborgen, die diese über 3 bis 4 m lange Stangen bewegen. Die Puppen bewegen sich oberhalb einer Wasseroberfläche, die Stangen sind im Wasser verborgen. Über Seilzüge werden einzeln Gliedmaßen oder mehrere Puppen gleichzeitig bewegt. Dabei werden kunstvolle Bewegungen die teils bereits ins Akrobatische übergehen, ausgeführt.
Beliebte Szenen stammen aus dem Landleben oder behandeln vietnamesische Sagen. Dazu gehört die Sage der Stadtgründung von Hanoi. König Le Loi wurde von den Göttern ein besonderes Schwert übergeben, mit dem er die Chinesen aus Vietnam vertrieb. Bei einer Bootsfahrt auf dem Hoan-Kiem See, entwendete eine goldene Schildkröte entwendete ihm das Schwert um es den Göttern wiederzugeben. Mit Feuerwerk, Rauch und farbiger Beleuchtung werden diese Szenen ausgeschmückt. Außerdem dürfen Fabelwesen und Feuer spuckende Drachen nicht fehlen.
In Hanoi gibt es zwei solcher Theater. Wir besuchen das Rối Nước Bông Sen an der Einmündung der Hang Trong in die Le Thai To. Am Ende der Vorstellung erkennen wir, dass 9 Akteure die ganze Zeit hüfthoch im Wasser stehen. Ein kleines Orchester begleitet die Aufführung und dessen Mitglieder geben einzelnen Puppen ihre Stimme.
Wir lernen auch, dass es sich bei den Akteuren um Studenten handelt, die das vietnamesische Kulturgut erhalten wollen.
Dieses außergewöhnliche Erlebnis hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
Ein weiteres Wasserpuppentheater gibt es in Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt.
