With a history of about 700 years, founded by farmers. The art of Water Puppetry in Nguyen Xa and Dong Cac is associated with the water stage and traditional Cheo art. The plays are closely associated with the lives of farmers in the North. They created and preserved many special plays such as: Bat Tien Dance, Couple Swing, Ngu Phuong Play. The "lion dance" of Water Puppetry in Nguyen Xa and Dong Cac is unique in the whole country. The uniqueness right from the name "Water Puppetry" is that water is used as the stage for the performance. The surface of the pond is both the stage, the environment, the scenery, and a supporting character for the puppets to operate under the skillful control of the artists. In the art of water puppetry, the puppets are the direct actors and the most important technical facilities contributing to the success of the plays. The most diverse types of puppets from Uncle Tieu to Master Duong Tang, from large unicorns to small, cute ducks and fish... Uncle Teu from Nguyen village (Nguyen Xa commune) has become a familiar character, with the image of a healthy, plump, plump, rosy-skinned farmer with a cheerful smile without a trace of thought. Teu is a character that often appears at the beginning of the show, controlling the program, teaching students, maintaining order... very close to the optimistic and life-loving farmers who know how to take advantage of laughter in production and combat. In theory, they control the puppets with strings and poles, but they have their own secret to create the liveliness and charm of the water play. There is also a special puppet-making technique here. They do not pass on the profession to outsiders and girls. This is the cradle of training and teaching students for the Central Puppetry Theater. They are also invited to perform diplomatically in many places around the world. The art of water puppetry is a synthesis and multifaceted combination of many elements, creating uniqueness, magic and attraction from the stage, the play room, the puppets to other magical elements such as the machines controlling the artists, the plays and the stories. The art of Water Puppetry in Thai Binh is the crystallization of the creativity, intelligence and ingenuity of the people created over many generations and lasting over time.
