What a better way to learn more about the heritage of our neighbouring countries than through dance?
Khon (Thailand)
by Pichet Klunchun Dance Company
Some of the most well-known scenes from the Ramakien (Thai adaptation of the Ramayana) are told in this performance.
It opens with a duet that presents the philosophical debate between good and evil.
The first excerpt is the kidnapping of Rama's wife, Sita, by the demon king Todsakan. A Dramatic battle between Rama and Todsakan erupts, depicted in the Yok Rob segment.
Of cos, the good guy win the battle... The performance ends with the Blessing Dance to confer good wishes on the audience (shown in the first photos).
