uDance, the Spirit of Cambodia, (a project of the Royal University of Fine Arts, Phonm Penh) toured a program of classical and folk dance and music from Cambodia August 11-September 29, 2001. Dances from the Reamker included fabulous monkeys in Hanuman's band. The have included program notes and images on their web site at
http://www.asiasource.org/cambodia/index.html
From their program notes: "A uniquely Khmer version of the written text, the Reamker is dated to the 16th century, by which time Buddhism was integrated into the evolving Khmer culture. The stories of the Reamker provide a direct link from a mythic past to present realities. Successive generations have interpreted the story as both a reflection of history and present circumstances. Its characters play out conflicts of good over evil, of loyalty, bravery and modesty over greed, cowardice and dishonor in performances of large shadow puppet theater (Sbeik Thom), all-male masked dance-drama (Lakhaon Khaol), and classical dance-drama."
