THE ROYAL BALLET OF CAMBODIA
CHOREOGRAPHY BY HRH PRINCESS NORODOM BUPPHA DEVI
LILA ARTISTS PRESENTS: THE ROYAL BALLET OF CAMBODIA
For the first time in many years, the Royal Ballet of Cambodia returns to the Carpenter Center at CSULB with a program entitled “The Stars of the Royal Ballet”, featuring the best dancers and musicians in the centuries-old tradition of Khmer Classical Dance. With choreography by Her Royal Highness Princess Norodom Buppha Devi, inspired by her grandmother Queen Kossamak Nearyrath, the program will include selections highlighting the exquisite grace and austere beauty of this sacred art form, cherished as the emblem of Khmer culture.
The Royal Ballet’s visit to Long Beach is part of a six week tour of the US and Mexico which follows a decade of resurgence, from the designation by UNESCO of the Royal Ballet as “Intangible Cultural Heritage” in 2003 and culminating in a major appearance at the “Season of Cambodia” festival in New York in 2013. Three decades after being almost eliminated by the Khmer Rouge regime, the Royal Ballet has proved its strength and endurance. The evening promises to be a rare occasion not to be missed.
