The puppets were supported by enormous rods, giving the impression that they were moving across the water while the puppeteers were concealed behind a screen. It is a rare experience to watch the puppets play at the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre because this practice is exclusive to North Vietnam but has recently gained popularity on stages around the world.

The stage for the puppet shows at this contemporary theater is a pool of water. No more than eight puppeteers operating the puppets are hidden behind a bamboo screen.

Instead of telling a single long story, modern performances typically consist of a number of little sketches that transport the audience to a bygone era of farming, legendary creature dances, and village life. The legendary Legend of the Restored Sword of King Le, which narrates the story of Hoan Kiem Lake and the gigantic tortoise, is also included on the majority of programs. With singers frequently yelling words of encouragement to the puppets, live music plays a crucial role in the performance.

It is advisable to purchase your tickets as soon as you arrive in the city because Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre is one of the most well-liked tourist sites in Hanoi and tends to sell out well in advance. Given that the theater only has a few hundred seats and since the puppets are not particularly large, it is also advisable to pay more to be located closer to the action. The contemporary theater often presents 17 brief sketches within a one-hour performance.
