Pharak Pharam Royal Ballet and Happy New Year
We enjoyed the performance of the Ramayana by the Pharak Pharam Royal Ballet Troupe of Luang Prabang. This provincial troupe of 60 artistes was formed in 1999 to re-establish the ancient Lao Ramayana or pharak pharam ballet of Luang Prabang. The artistes include performers fro various provincial groups, students, ad extablised musicians. They perform nine episodes of the Lao Ramayana.

Beautiful costumes. What a magical way to spend New Year's. Happy 2008!
I have such fond memories of Luang Prabang and the beauty of Laos. I lived in Pakse in southern Laos for 2 years and then in Vientiane for 3 while I was there teaching high school and college. Thanks for posting these beautiful pictures and sharing them. Best regards,
