Description
This dance drama is meant to invoke fertility and the relationship between water (Moni Mekhala), sun (Ream Eyso) and earth (Vorachhun). It describes the origin of rain and the creation of thunder and lightning. The first three of the four scenes included here were not performed publicly between the 1960s and 2004.
Scene 1. Moni Mekhala and Vorachhun are dancing among the divinities.
Scene 2. In a jealous rage over Moni Mekhalas jeweled ball, the demon Ream Eyso spots Vorachhun flying over his territory. He attacks Moni Mekhalas ally and kills him.
Scene 3. Ream Eyso enters and searches among the divinities for Moni Mekhala.
Scene 4. Ream Eyso finds Moni Mekhala and throws his ax at her. When it lands, it makes thunder. Moni Mekhala tosses her jewel in the air, making lightning and blinding her rival. She escapes unharmed.
ENSEMBLE: The musicians of the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA), Cambodia's official arts conservatory, include some of Cambodias most accomplished performing artists.
