Cambodia has a long and rich tradition of
performing arts, which involves folk and
classical dance, mask theatre, music,
theatre, shadow puppetry and circus. After a
long time of war and depression that almost
decimated the arts in Cambodia, the
performing art scene is finally going
through a revival.
Today, Sovanna Phum has a dynamic network of
120 energetic professional artists, mainly
graduates from The Royal University of Fine
Arts in Phnom Penh. Since the renovation of
the open air stage in 2002, we offer a
theatre space that allows not only Cambodian
people to re-discover their culture but also
for foreigners to discover the rich
diversity of Cambodian performing arts. We
are also active in promoting intercultural
exchanges by collaborating with artists from
other countries.
Since 1997, we have been designing,
implementing and performing information and
awareness programs, prevention and
educational performances on specific
subjects such as health, education,
environment, human rights and democracy.
