First water puppet show in Danang | Da Nang City Blog
Danang, 28 April 2012: Crown Games Club and Co Do Hue Water Puppetry Company work together to hold the first ever water puppet show in Danang, at the front garden of Crown Games Club.
Starting from 1st of May, there will be two shows, first one at 8pm and second show at 9pm daily at the Crown Games performance by Co Do Hue Water Puppetry.
As a quintessence of Vietnam, water puppet is a tradition that dates back as far as the 11th century. The shows are performed in water in which a large rod supports the puppets under the water and is used by the puppeteers, normally hidden behind a screen, to control the dolls. Thus the puppets appear to be moving over the water with traditional background music by the Vietnamese orchestra. When viewing the water puppetry shows, guests could understand better about the Vietnamese culture.
There will be introductory performance on 28 April for guests with invitations such as representatives of the Danang Tourism, local travel agents, travel agents of charter flights from China, representatives from 5-star hotels in Danang and local media.
Tickets at VND500,000 per person (including one accompanied kid) are available at Tour Desk located at the hotel lobby of Crowne Plaza Danang. Please contact Tour Desk at 84 511 391 8888, extension 6116 for bookings and inquires.
