We went to a water puppet show in Hanoi - puppeteers stood in water behind a curtain, and manipulated puppets on poles in the water in front of them. The effect was puppets moving through the water unaided, and it was a lot of fun. The accompanying orchestra played and sang traditional Vietnamese music.
My favorite puppets were the dancing girls. At least I think they were dancing - they tilted side to side and waved their arms around. Maybe they were scolding the menfolk? Either way, they were great.
