The Royal Ballet of Cambodia, also known as Khmer Classical Dance, has been closely associated with the Khmer court for over one thousand years.
This coffee-table book in English and German presents the breadth of Khmer Classical Dance and Royal Ballet since the last three decades in Cambodia. A unique collection by the renown German photographer. His four previous photo books on Khmer art have been honored by the Cambodian King and Queen Mother in personal letters of thanks. The photographic quality is particularly evident here. There is also an introduction to the history of this unique art form. Finally, the book gives a hopeful outlook on the further development of this millennia-old, fascinating Khmer dance. A book that sets standards.
“This Dance is Sacred, we do it for the Glory of God”
