Title: Vietnam: The Vietnamese Emperor Le Loi (Lê Li) returns the sacred sword to the Golden Turtle God, Kim Qui; puppets dancing on the water at the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, Hanoi (2016)

Caption: Water Puppetry or Múa ri nc, literally 'puppets that dance on water' originated in the Red River Delta. The puppets are carved from water-resistant wood to represent traditional rural lifestyles and mythical creatures. Standing behind the watery stage, waist-deep in water, the hidden puppeteers skillfully manoeuvre their wooden charges to the music of a traditional orchestra.
