Dancing the Land — Dance Performance

7 Jul 2022
19.00

Charlottenplatz 17
70173 Stuttgart

In classical Khmer dance, the poses, the posture of the hands and fingers are full of meanings. In his work Popil, Khvay Samnang stages Cambodian dance with its expressive gestures in a contemporary, new form. The dancers wear masks made of interwoven vines, reminiscent of dragon heads. Two dragons meet in circling and writhing movements and tell their love story in the performance.

The performance will be followed by a conversation with the artist Khvay Samnang.

On June 30, 2022, the dance performance Popil will be shown at Villa 102 in Frankfurt, organized by KfW Stiftung. The staging of the performance is a cooperation with the KfW Foundation.
