Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.40,0:04:10.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I understand that we see Khon as
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.20,0:04:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a performance on stage, something like that, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.00,0:04:16.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, in fact, there are 5 types of Khon.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.10,0:04:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is Khon Rong Nai --

Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.90,0:04:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And since there's Khon Rong Nai, there's also, of course

Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.20,0:05:11.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Normally, while watching Khon,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.90,0:05:15.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we'll see a seat, some sort of thing like a bench...

Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.20,0:05:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Khon Rong Nok doesn't have these things on stage.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.00,0:05:23.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They'll be using the rails as the throne.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.30,0:05:25.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's why this type of Khon is also called --

Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.60,0:05:30.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next, we have Khon Na Cho.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.60,0:05:41.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then they'll hold up the carved buffalo-skinned puppets
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.60,0:05:43.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and let the backdrop reflects the shadow.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.60,0:05:44.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there are also performers dancing.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.40,0:05:47.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, at that time, playing only with shadows became boring.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.20,0:05:51.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's why sometimes they incorporated Khon into Nang Yai performance.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.10,0:05:53.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, while the puppet was being held up, a person walked out from behind.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.76,0:05:55.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bam, a performer in Khon costume appeared.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.30,0:05:57.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But after a while,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.80,0:06:05.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It led to having Khon performances in front of the same backdrop.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.80,0:06:07.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The puppets were removed.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.40,0:06:09.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that is another type of Khon.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.80,0:06:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the fourth type of Khon --

Dialogue: 0,0:09:20.40,0:09:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The performers themselves, --
Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.00,0:09:32.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,although they don't speak, their movements communicate particular meanings or emotions.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.14,0:09:34.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, certain movements suggest that they're angry,

Dialogue: 0,0:09:37.90,0:09:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's not that hard to understand what the characters are saying through their movements
Dialogue: 0,0:09:43.00,0:09:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even without the narration.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:45.22,0:09:47.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For literary aspects,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:47.30,0:09:53.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the beauty of literature is reflected in Khon narration and dialogues
Dialogue: 0,0:09:53.40,0:09:55.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which plays with words aesthetically.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:55.70,0:09:58.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most importantly, the performance we just saw today

Dialogue: 0,0:10:44.20,0:10:46.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This might be a relatively new perspective on Khon performance
Dialogue: 0,0:10:46.40,0:10:51.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because Khon Klang Plaeng is different from common Khon performance we've seen.
