Traditional Musical Theater : Mak Yong

MaK Yong is a traditional performance which is conducted to the Malay Royal in Peninsular Malaysia. Thus, this theater have been handed down to the new generation of performer which now can be enjoyed by all.

We went to this theater at RTM Kuching. I love the music and appreciate the artistic of it but I do not really understand the language that being used during the performance.

Beautiful traditional costume on the dancer. Love the music too.
