What Is Khon?
Khon is a traditional Thai masked dance-drama that narrates episodes from the Ramakien, Thailand’s national epic based on the Indian Ramayana. This art form is characterized by its highly stylized movements, elaborate costumes, and live musical accompaniment.
Performed by trained dancers and supported by a live orchestra and narrators, Khon seamlessly blends drama, dance, music, and visual artistry. Each dancer wears a meticulously crafted mask that represents their character, whether they are deities, demons, or human heroes.
