約有千年歷史的越南水上木偶戲,為越南傳統的文藝表演之一。戲劇的題材以傳統農村生活、歷史故事及神話傳說為主,例如:黎王還劍、小丑說唱、牧童吹笛、插秧、捕魚、仙女舞、四靈舞(龍麟龜鳳)等等。表演方式是在水上搭起舞台,有隱藏在後台的演員操縱木偶表演(詳細介紹:參考維基)。既然來到了越南,我們當然要去欣賞著代表當地傳統文化的水上木偶戲,首選的就是河內頂尖的昇龍木偶歌劇院(官方網頁)。入門票為每人十萬越南盾(約四歐元,或馬幣十八塊錢),表演時間為四十五分鐘。

[EN]Vietnamese water puppetry (Vietnamese: Múa rối nước) is a tradition with almost thousand years history. Today, it is a unique variation on the ancient Asian puppet tradition. The shows are performed in a waist-deep pool. The woorden puppets are controlled by the puppeteers hidden behind a screen. The theme has a strong reference to Vietnamese folklore, telling of daily living in rural Vietnam and Vietnamese folk tales (more details: wikipedia). Since we were in Vietnam, we have taken the opportunity to watch this traditional water puppertry at Thang Long Water Puppet Theather (Official website). The ticket was 100.000 VND (about 4 Euro, or 18 Ringgit) per person, and the duration of the show was 45 minutes. Continue reading
