I remember the name of the dancer in the front: Mme. Ros Sary. I used to watch her during my childhood year. During Khmer Rouge time, I also met another master: Mme Pan Nan, her husband was taken away and killed. I used to work with her during Pol Pot.
some sources stated that only 10% of remaining master artists survived the khmer rouge regime. so thats why these Khmer classical arts are so rare to the world.
I think I'm pretty sure that's Mme Ros Sary because I used to watch her very up close, let's say behind the curtain on stage. And the next day they put her pictures up at Khosnaka in Battambang (with my picture next to the curtain!) and my dad found out that I sneaked out, the rest was history! Got spanked of course!
@Ichan90a thanks for sharing! I'm so excited to see this clip. But I just can recognize only one guy. She's lok yeay Leas (she's the best giant role). Unfortunately she's gone away. On the third next month we celebrate her died for 1yr.
