Water puppetry is a unique folk-art form associated with Vietnam's long history of wet rice civilization and traditional village tales. The Hoi An Water Puppet Show lasts about 90 minutes and includes twelve scenes representing the life of Vietnamese farmers. A team of puppet masters and musicians stand knee-deep in cold water behind a screen while puppets on the end of long poles are extended under the screen. Tickets at Water Puppet Theatre cost 1,48,058 VND per person.
