My Beloved Project - Sok Nalys and Ros Sokunthea's performance at BankART Museum Yokohama Japan
At the opening event on 1 November 2024 and again the following day, visitors to Kim Hak’s exhibition My Beloved were treated to a special performance by Khmer dancer Sok Nalys and classical and contemporary musician Ros Sokunthea, both from Cambodia.
The performance, entitled Watercourse, aimed to highlight aspects of the lives of the people along the Mekong River to the country's southern and southwestern coastal regions, along with the biodiverse ecology of the area. Ros Sokunthea incorporated traditional Khmer musical instruments, including the angkuoch (jaw harp) and pei pok (free-reed aerophone), shifting between slow and graceful classical music with fast movement, the latter a reference to the relentless development of contemporary Cambodia. Similarly, Sok Nalys combined traditional and contemporary dance styles in innovative ways. The artists stated, “We hope to provide national and international audiences with the beauty of Cambodia through the exquisite art of our Khmer ancestors.”
