Cambodia's first gay dance troupe upends centuries of tradition

[geovalin]

Gold jewellery glistening, six male dancers from Cambodia's first gay "Apsara" troupe swirl in unison on a dimly lit stage, their production a radical shake-up of a ballet form peformed by women for more than a thousand years.

 

"Some people say LGBTQ people are born abnormal," 23-year-old dancer Chan Sory tells AFP during a rehearsal in Phnom Penh.

 

"So our goal is to use art to change their mindset."

Great, could also use ART/Dance and culture to promote sexual health, exercise and acceptance.

Good move.
