✦ Thailand is famous worldwide for its natural beauty and eye-catching attractions. Many visitors have also fallen in love with its rich culture and exotic traditions, including Khon or the masked dance, which is regarded as the highest form of Thai performing art.
✦ Khon is a traditional dance drama that only relates the story of the Ramakien, itself being one derivative of the world-renowned Hindu epic Ramayana originating from India. Historically, Khon performance took place solely within the walls of the royal court. However, subsequently this classical performance could be enjoyed by the general public, and both men and women were accepted to perform in this traditionally all-male play.
✦ Khon has a history that dates back hundreds of years.
It started in the royal court and later spread into wider Thai society. Today, Khon performing arts are still being taught and transmitted across the country. Thus, there continues to be practice and transmission. Aside from the music and the singing arts, which can be seen on stage during a performance, Khon also involves a mix of various other Thai arts and crafts, including painting, sculpture, jewelry, embroidery and carpentry, all of which require expertise and specialized skills. This knowledge and the various skills also need to be safeguarded, along with the Khon performing arts and music.
