Post image for Documentary: Royal Ballet of Cambodia

This film documents the work of the Royal Ballet of Cambodia. The first part features the company performing a dance on the legendary origins of Angkor; the second part covers a visit to the School of the Royal Ballet of Cambodia at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh.

Scenes show dance instruction of both boys and girls, a dress rehearsal, costume design, and mask-making. The third part contains footage of the school’s graduation ceremonies, including a presentation of novices to Queen Sisowath Kossmak Nearirath, patron of the school, and solo dance by Princess Norodom Buppha Devi.

The Royal Ballet will be in Paris on the 10th of October and I will be there in the very famous showroom “salle Pleyel”.There is still some seats available at reasonable price. I am happy for I decided not to witness fake ballet dancing at Seam Reap in luxurious very touritic place in August and will get the original at my own place 10,000km awy :) …and guess what: the very original is cheaper in Paris !
