First of all, I would like to say that I do love this kind of piece of Khmer art. A very magnificent art and also it use for Cambodia Traditional theater. Currently, young generation does not know this kind of art was exit. As well as it is rare to watch this show because on National Television does not have this theater program. In Cambodian words, we called it "Lakorn Sbaerk". It made from cow skin and carving it into each story character or animal. If compare with foreign country, it is very similar to shadow show. It is different just shadow show, people play the role. But in Lakorn Sbaerk, we use above material plus people holding it and play all the role with a group of classical music.
In my thinking, it would be great if in TV program has show our traditional theater to the young generation to support our culture which ancient people left behind for us.
