Lakhon (English spelling)

Japanese: ラコーン(英語表記)Lakhon
Lakhon (English spelling)
A type of Thai theatre. Other Thai theatre styles include khon (masked theatre), nang (shadow theatre), and hun (puppet theatre). There are two theories about the origin of the word lakhon: a Cambodian word and a place name in southern Thailand. Lakhon originated as a dance, and is divided into travelling theatre (lakhon chartri), internal theatre (lakhon nai), and external theatre (lakhon nok). Travelling theatre is the original form of internal and external theatre, and was introduced from India via Malaya. It is a type of theatre performed by a small number of people and centred around the king, and likhe (dance and music theatre) is also part of this trend.

Japanese:
タイの演劇の一種。タイの演劇にはほかにコーン(仮面黙劇),ナン(影絵劇),フン(人形劇)がある。ラコーンの語源にはカンボジア語説と南タイ地名説がある。ラコーンは舞踊から始まったもので,遊歴劇(ラコーン・チャートリー),内劇(ラコーン・ナイ),外劇(ラコーン・ノーク)に分けられる。遊歴劇は内劇,外劇の原形で,インドからマラヤを経て入った。小人数で演じる王中心の劇で,リケー(ジーケー,舞踊音楽劇)もこの流れである。
