The theater is a very traditional small theater, all Cambodian comedy form, not very special, because of the language problem, everyone did not see much, just entered a circle.

    It is difficult to say beautiful in words. I watched the Cambodian Tianma dance on TV when I was very young. I felt extremely shocked at the time. I didn't expect the effect to be more amazing on the spot. The stage does not have too much decoration, unlike Siem Reap, which adds various acoustic and light effects, completely relying on the expression and body movements of the actors to attract people, returning to the essence of dance, and seeing the actors' skills. The actress who played the goddess not only had a good expression, but also had a good leg. She supported the body and changed direction with a leg. The upper half of the body was not moving. I saw the American Cambodian immigrant ticket friends jumping, and the shelf was there, but the same action was not stable at all. Normal performances not only have heavenly women dance, but also sacrificial dance, folk dance, condensing Cambodia's history, myth and folklore, the content is very diverse. Most people are attracted by the softness of the dance, but the masculine side of the dance is also shown in the performance, such as the scene of the churning sea, where the gods and Atheulo fight. And most of the male characters are played by men, unlike many performances where women play male characters, giving a soft feeling. In short, through a dance, one can experience the glory of the Khmer Empire, although Cambodia is now the least developed country in Southeast Asia, but its culture is still brilliant. The audience is mostly European and American, and my parents and I sit in the first row and look like a standout. Finally, I would like to remind you that those who have seen Thai dance may feel that Cambodian dance is similar to Thailand because Thailand has absorbed a large number of Khmer cultures in its history.

    Just on the edge of the palace, this theater is quite fun. Every night at 5:30, the time of the theater performance is very fixed. It is a performance form for foreign tourists, which is more traditional than traditional local characteristics.

    The opera house in the city center actually has English subtitles. This is better. I didn’t see subtitles in Siem Reap before. I saw the clouds and fog. It was also quite that. The environment was also good. It was very sensational. The music and stage drama combined with traditional Cambodian legends, myths, demons and fairies. Interesting.

    The theater is in the museum courtyard, divided into 25, 20, 15 dollars by distance, three, see the venue is not big, we booked 15 dollars. After paying 60 dollars, handed me a tissue paper. The evening performance began at 7 o'clock. The performance group called CambodiaArtLiving was created by a Cambodian artist who had studied in the United States. Because Cambodian traditional art lacks the records of writing and books, it can only rely on oral teaching. After the country restored peace, he found some surviving postwar preachers. Teach young people to retain these artistic heritage. Although the theater is relatively simple, it is a stage in a shed, plus more than a dozen rows of long chairs; but the wonderful performance makes up for the lack of hardware, and it feels worth the fare. The LCD screen above the stage introduces the main content and background knowledge of dance in English and French bilingual, accompanied by traditional Khmer musical instruments and singing and harmony, and the soundtrack and dance are very infectious. Folk dance is lively and fun, young actors' movements and expressions are in place, which mimics the passages of various insects and makes people laugh, the two bowls in the actors' hands can be used to tap the companion, but also as props dressed as caterpillar side spots, The magical skills are amazing. The Apsala dance is elegant and noble and beautiful, the dancers are beautifully decorated from head to toe, even the chopsticks behind them, and each gesture has a specific meaning. The Apsala dance is said to be influenced by Indian culture, based on epics such as Romjana and religious legends. It is a palace dance of the former Angkor dynasty. When the Angkor dynasty was broken by the Siam (Thailand) army, the court dance troupe was brought to Thailand. So the Apsala dance and Thai court dance are a bit like, of course, but also have their own characteristics. Every nation has its own unique heritage and cultural heritage, but often lack mutual understanding and communication between each other, which is one of the meanings of our trip. Angkor monuments have many of the reliefs of Apsara, the action and dance performance is similar, presumably in the restoration of these dances also refer to ancient reliefs and murals. After seeing the performance, visit the monuments, as if building a bridge between ancient and reality.

    A great show, $15 likes it. There are both folk music from Cambodia, men and women flirting, life scenes restored, and the story of the statue of Angkor Wat and dancers, costumes, jewelry, looks and shapes to put Buddha out of the Angkor Wat mural. It is incredible that there is also this original performance, right next to the Phnom Penh Museum. After the performance, we also specially found a photo of the actors, which is beautiful and great!
