A performance by Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre

Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre was established in 1969. There were times when the Theatre encountered seemingly insurmountable difficulties as traditional art forms gradually fell into oblivion and faded away.

In 1990, Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre decided to invest in restoring puppetry and performing for domestic and foreign tourists.

At first, Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre only performed regularly every week or month. Thanks to the creativity and uniqueness of this traditional art form, more and more tourists came here. The frequency of the theatre's performances as well as the theatre's revenue each year was higher than the previous year.

Up to now, most of the tourist programs in Hanoi have included the enjoyment of puppetry at Thang Long Puppetry Theatre. Therefore, the Theatre is open and has a performance schedule 365 days a year with more than 2000 programs organized regularly.

Besides performing continuously 365 days a year, Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre has also succeeded in introducing the nation's traditional art to more than 50 countries around the world.
