Sovanna Phum: Khmer art association in Cambodia
Blogger at ‘An MSW in Cambodia’ has an interesting post of her visit to Sovanna Phum, an independent Khmer art association in Phnom Penh. There, she enjoyed the show the treasures of Khmer culture (Shadow Puppet Theatre, Classical Dance, Folk Dance, Traditional Music, Theatre and Circus). In the post, you will also find pictures and video clips of the performance.
Sovanna Phum is really one of the best places to see traditional arts here in Cambodia. Tickets for the night were only $5.00. My favorite part about the organization, however, was that after the show had started, they allow kids to come in from the streets free of charge and fill any seats that were empty. So many time (including in the US) if you are a child that does not come from a middle or upper class family– you never get to really see the arts.
