Shawn Clod helps Jamie Rin wrap a traditional “k-ben” as part of the costume for Swva Pol (the monkey dance). Swva Pol depicts monkey soldiers celebrating a big victory and gathering food for a feast. It is a classic scene from the Reamker, Cambodia's version of the Indian epic Ramayana. The dance is lively and acrobatic and captures the spirit and quick mannerisms of monkeys. It is always performed by young men and boys. In the background two women are costuming for the Tep Menorum dance. |
