Stepping out of their fields and taking a break from daily work, farmer artisans in Dao Thuc village immerse themselves in the world of puppetry. Inanimate wooden puppets became lively and soulful in the hands of the artisans and amid exciting music.
Each performance reflects Vietnamese customs and habits, praising the bravery of farmers, or reflecting the vices of society. Under the skilled hands of artisans, the puppets have become ambassadors telling the story of the village, the sincerity of farmers, and the unique and simple culture of the country, attracting visitors from both home and abroad.
Today, in addition to ancient legends preserved for thousands of generations, Dao Thuc water puppetry village has also composed many new plays over time, singing with pride about the homeland and the country, and manifesting the enduring and intense vitality of folk art in the village.
Through many ups and downs, sometimes even being at risk of falling into oblivion, but with love and responsibility of generations of local people, Dao Thuc water puppetry has been preserved and maintained and become a famous cultural brand./.
