In choreographer Sophiline Cheam Shapiro’s Cambodian classical dance Neang Neak, a serpent goddess arrives on earth to live among humans. Director Masahiro Sugano’s experimental film opens a new window onto this modern day metaphor for displacement and the journey to self-discovery by juxtaposing contemporary and ancient storytelling techniques. With a title role performance by Keo Kuntearom, this collaboration between dance makers Khmer Arts and media makers Studio Revolt reflects Cambodian culture’s ever-evolving relationship between tradition and the new and demonstrates how highly stylized, culturally specific art can be universally relevant.
