A
zat pwe
performance by
Mon boys and girls, on a floating
theatre on the Kwae River
(fig.),
in the jungle of
Kanchanaburi.
The movements of this Burmese classical dance performance
(fig.) are strongly
influenced by those of the marionette puppets used in
yokthei pwe (fig.).
Male dancers typically wear
a Myanmar turban,
which is in Burmese known as
gaung-baung (fig.).
