Documentary about Cambodia on the ABC, Australia

Posted by puthick on July 26, 2009

I have just finished watching a documentary about Khmer Ballet Dancing (Royal Ballet Dancing. It’s about how important the dance is so important for our Khmer culture. Unfortunately, according to the documentation, the Royal palace is distance itself from this great cultural dance. However, the desire for this dance is very strong indeed.

I was surprised that people still use the burn national theatre (Sall Mo Ho Srab) to rehearse the dance. The place is still a spiritual place for these amazing and dedicated artists.

I went there a couple of times when I was young. It was heart broken when a fire took place over there around in 1997. There were many events happened in this year.

The URL on the ABC website is:
