Videoen er med Pichet Klunchun og Jérôme Bel fra 2005.
Pichet Klunchun is a contemporary Thai dancer and choreographer. Klunchun started studying traditional Thai dance called khon at age sixteen with the renowned master Chaiyot Khummanee. Khon is a traditional Thai dance focused on classical masks. This type of dance developed in the seventeenth century as a hybrid of Hindu military rituals and Thai martial arts. Khon focuses on the Ramakian epic, a version of the Ramayana story telling of Rama, an avartar of the Hindu God Vishnu, and his wife Sita who is abducted by the demon king Ravana. Klunchun studied this art form, eventually receiving a degree in Thai Classical Dance at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
De første cirka 60 minutter er de mest interessant mhs. til den traditionelle thailandske dans. Det gav i hvert fald mig en indsigt i den traditionelle thailandske dans som jeg ikke tidligere har haft, herunder blandt andet i historien og de meget specielle og buet finger-indstillinger som danserne har under dansen.
