The water puppetry is performed in a pool of water 10 meters square with the water surface being the stage. The video records the stage performance of the play named "The Kids swim" Video captured in Viet Nam on June 18.

Water puppetry is a form of folk arts originating in the Red River Delta in the north of Vietnam, dating back in the 11th century and is now considered as an intangible cultural heritage of Vietnam.

Puppets are made of wood and then lacquered to be watertight and endurable. During performances, puppets are controlled via a pole-and string apparatus hidden under the water surface by puppeteers standing in waist-deep water behind the stage. While puppets play their roles according to the direction of puppeteers, singers of Cheo (a kind of traditional theater in Vietnam) sing songs to tell the story in words.
