Legacy of Angkor

Date: April 11, 2013

This presentation depicts the history of the Khmer people and illustrates how culture and art are important to their way of life. It also demonstrates how cultural arts preserve the Khmer heritage and tradition, uplift the community's spirits, and keep the legacy of Angkor going. Through dance, music, paintings, plays, bas-relief carvings, clothing, and film, the audience will experience what Khmer heritage is and the challenges of continuing this legacy.

The community will learn of strength within unity, the importance of pursuing higher education, the value of the cultural arts, and the resolve of the Khmer generations who survived the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouge, and who continue to keep their traditions alive here in America. After the show, the audience will enjoy a taste of authentic Cambodian Food.
