Panji/Inao -- Khmer Classical Dance -- Yarann Chasing a Peacock (Cambodia)

Khmer Classical Dance, also known as Cambodian Royal Ballet, is a highly stylized form of court dance drama. While the story of Panji, known as Inav in Khmer, is no longer performed today, some episodes were favoured by the Kings of Cambodia between 1900 and 1940. It is believed that Queen Sisowath Kossomak Nearirath is responsible for redeveloping the Inav/Bussa Ba performance in Khmer Classical Dance. However, since only a few episodes were created in this art form, it is impossible to know the whole Khmer version of this legend. In this episode, Prince Siyatra is in the forest where he sees a peacock created by the god Indra. He and his retinues chase the peacock to the border of the territory of Kalaing. Disguised as Yarann, he serves the King of Kalaing with the help of General Pan Yi and his brother Sangka Mota, after which he is awarded a high title. Bosseba, whose original name is Kaen Long, and Yarann meet one day while she is visiting a garden. Upon seeing Yarann trying to court Bosseba, General Pan Yi becomes angry. A fight ensues between the both of them but the King intervenes. Then, Yarann pulls out the kalaing kroeus (a small two-edged knife), which reveals to all his true identity: Prince Siyatra.
