Khmer Classical Dance "Neary Chea Chour"

Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.

~Stella Adler

It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet.

The long tragedy of Cham history

“The process [‘Nam Tien’ or Vietnamese southward expansion] was well defined by Léopold Cadière in 1911: “As soon as they feel themselves able, they drive off the first inhabitants, whether in a peaceful manner, by taking over the land, clearing it and “planting the bamboo” – the hedges that to this day still surround Annamese gardens and villages – or by violence, then they fight with the Chams, destroying their temples and mutilating their statues.” In short, there was no room left for the Chams.”
