Manora of Kelantan

Pauline Fan and Yana Rizal throw light on the ‘Manora, also known as ‘Nora Chatri’, a folk dance-drama tradition practiced by the Thai community in the north Malaysian states of Kelantan, Kedah and Penang, as well as throughout southern Thailand. The performance over the weekend is part of the Pusaka in Publika, an initiative to keep traditional performing arts on the front burner, by exposing, entertaining and educating the public through talks and performances.
