The Sakka Devaraj สักการะเทวราช Dance (lit. 'Worshiping the God KIng'), performed at the Great Court in the British Museum, London, on the 22nd Feb 2018, by Thai classical dancers from the Bunditpatanasilpa Institute สถาบันบัณฑิตพัฒนศิลป์, Bangkok, Thailand.
The Bunditpatanasilpa Institute is a key higher education institution focusing on preserving and promoting Thai cultural arts.
From the event flyer:
"Sakka Devaraj - Worshiping the God King
'Worshiping the God King' is the opening dance inspired by the ceremony to praise the monarch, who upon taking the throne is considered to be a reincarnation of the god Indra, king of all heavenly beings. The performance consists of dances of various courtiers to honour the monarch and pledge devotion to him. The melody is composed with a combination of traditional Thai and Western orchestras, while retaining the Thai musical tradition. The artists are equisitely dressed in full imperial dress from the early Ayutthaya period."
The visit by the Bunditpatanasilpa Institute was part of a Thai cultural promotion tour to enhance Thai-UK friendship and relations and to project a good image of Thailand to the international community.
