Abstract
Abstract:Actor, playwright, and poet Pich Tum Kravel was one of the most famous performing artists in the 1960s and 1970s. After the Khmer Rouge regime ended, he was instrumental in restoring Cambodian arts from the 1980s until his death in 2015. "The Ox with the Broken Hoof" is written in me buon meter (four lines of four syllables), a very compressed form often used in folk songs. "Man and Krasang" is composed in Crow's Gait meter (seven-line stanzas of four syllables per line). "The Sun Turns Leprous" takes up a classical Khmer theme, since the fall of Angkor, of the "upside down world"—its surreal images of eclipses and comets draw on traditional Asian prophecies. cm/sm
摘要:演员、剧作家和诗人Pich Tum Kravel是20世纪60年代和70年代最著名的表演艺术家之一。红色高棉政权结束后,从20世纪80年代到2015年去世,他在恢复柬埔寨艺术方面发挥了重要作用。“断箍牛”是用四行四音节的米写的,这是民歌中经常使用的一种非常压缩的形式。“Man and Krasang”是用Crow的步态(每行四个音节的七行诗节)创作的。自吴哥沦陷以来,《太阳变麻风》采用了一个经典的高棉主题,即“颠倒的世界”——其日食和彗星的超现实图像借鉴了传统的亚洲预言。厘米/平方米
