Khon Costume for Tossakan, the Demon King.

14/07/2014

" Hanuman " or " The Monkey King " is one of the main characters in Ramayana Epic. He was Rama's general of the monkey army. He helped Rama to defeat " Tossakan " who abducted Rama's wife. His fur even though it looks white in the picture, it is made of diamond and his teeth are made of crystal. He is immortal. They say struck down in battle or left for death, it only took the touch of the wind to bring him back to life. This is because his father is the God of wind. Some people worship Hanuman as a God as he is very strong, powerful and smart.

KHON (โขน)

A Traditional Thai Masked Drama...

Khon is a traditional most sophisticated form of Thai masked drama which combines gracefulness with masculinity in its dancing and singing. It is believed to have been performed since the Ayutthaya Period (1350-1767). Most Khon performances feature episodes from the Ramakien, the Thai version of an Indian epic Ramayana. The Khon roles are male humans, female humans, monkeys and demons. The latter two are dominant ones. Traditionally, all its performers wore masks and all the speaking and singing were done by the reciters and the singers sitting at one side of the stage with the Thai orchestra.

The stories played in Khon presentations are invariably those of "Rama", a reincarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu who is the hero in the Hindu epic Ramayana and its Thai version Ramakian. A greater part of the epic is concerned with the protracted war between Rama, the righteous king and Thotsakan, the king of demons, which is touched off by the abduction of Rama's beloved consort by the Demon King. The drama is therefore full of love, magic and war scenes.

The arts of Thai Khon Masks are appealing. However, with less Khon performances, it has become much less Khon mask production in Thailand.
