Khon, the dance of kings

Screening of the documentary Le Khon, la danse des rois
THAI EVENING

This 52-minute documentary, released in 2017, offers an authentic look at khon dance in its natural setting and highlights its deep roots in both traditional and contemporary Thai culture. It also explores how khon has been integrated into modern dance practices. And the cherry on top? One of the film’s main figures is none other than our very own patron, Benjamin Tardif! In the film, you’ll see him performing with the troupe—quite a contrast to his solo performance here with us. In short, this documentary is the perfect introduction to our Thai-themed evening!

*The screening of the documentary is included with the purchase of a ticket for the performance Para||èle.
