Narathiwat, Thailand, Dec 15 – <\/i>Dancers moved gracefully in a circle, their beaded dress pieces swaying as they struck bird-like poses in a dance-drama known as “nora” — a southern Thai performance art which was added Wednesday to UNESCO’s prestigious heritage list.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dramatic art form — combining dancing, singing and storytelling — has roots in India, and has been practised in Thailand’s Muslim-majority southernmost provinces for centuries.<\/p>\n

Performances are usually a dramatic retelling of the tale of a local prince who tries to rescue Manora — a half-human, half-bird princess, whose shortened name gives the art its name.<\/p>\n

The ultra-elaborate showcases can last for up to three days.<\/p>\n

UNESCO on Wednesday officially listed nora as Thailand’s “Intangible Cultural Heritage” — a move that could potentially bring more global recognition to a dance typically only seen in small village gatherings in the kingdom’s south.<\/p>\n

In Narathiwat province’s Su-ngai Padi district — not far from Malaysia’s border — young dancers on Saturday carefully pulled on their costumes, with lines of beads strung together in a kaleidoscopic display of colours and patterns.<\/p>\n

The backs of their dress pieces swooped upwards, mimicking a bird’s tail.<\/p>\n

“Nora is important to southerners for two reasons — first, it is for entertainment… the dance conveys messages which teaches people to do good for good karma,” said Vichien Rattanaboono, president of the province’s dance group.<\/p>\n

“And second, it is about ceremony and beliefs. Manora will be performed during ceremonies to show respect to our teachers and parents. It’s to show our gratitude,” he said.<\/p>\n

As a small band played the drums and pi nai — an oboe-like instrument — the five dancers twirled around, their expressive finger movements accentuated by their long silver nail tips.<\/p>\n

Covid-19 restrictions over the past 20 months have meant fewer public performances, as large gatherings in hotspots were banned.<\/p>\n

“After Covid emerged, there have been no plays… it caused us to have no gigs,” said 18-year-old Nitichaya Sooksan, adding that Saturday was their first performance since the pandemic started.<\/p>\n

The high school student has been performing for nearly seven years, initially picking it up together with some friends.<\/p>\n

Longtime nora performer Saman Dosormi — who is also a graduate student of performance arts in nearby Yala province — said the dance shows off the southern provinces’ “shared culture” of Buddhist Thais and ethnic Malay Muslims.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t matter whether you are Buddhist, Muslim or Christian — anyone can perform this dance,” he told AFP.<\/p>\n

“I am very delighted (about nora’s UNESCO listing) — I’d like for all Thai cultural arts to be recognised by the world,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
