Historical Background
Water puppetry originated in the Red River Delta of northern Vietnam in the 11th century as a form of entertainment for villagers during the rice harvest season. The art form involves puppeteers standing waist-deep in water, controlling wooden puppets that perform on a water stage. Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, developed as a major urban center with the Saigon River playing an important role in trade and transport, which is central to the dinner cruise experience.
