IMMERSIVE LOCAL ARTS

The central concept revives the historical tradition of Khmer Royalty, specifically focusing on the Royal Guards’ pantaloons (châng kben). Historically, the color of a king’s attire would change to correspond with the day of the week—a vibrant, visual reminder of the calendar and its spiritual significance.

DinArt channels this color symbolism into a magnificent collection of Apsara figures. Each piece captures a graceful Apsara dancer adorned in the specific colors and motifs representing one of the seven days of the week, transforming a mundane cycle of time into a vibrant, divine, and historically resonant rhapsody of color and form.

The Royal Ballet of Cambodia (known as Robam Kbach Boran) is more than just classical Khmer dance; it is a living tapestry of myth and grace. This ethereal art form is instantly recognizable by its dancers’ intricate, whispering hand movements and the resplendent, jewel-encrusted costumes that transform them into celestial beings. was formally recognized when it was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists in 2003.
