MAK YONG

Mak Yong is traditional dance drama of Kelantan, Malaysia. 
According to UNESCO, Mak Yong appeared well before the
Islamization of the country but was banned in the year 1991
after the Islamic Party Of Malaysia took control of the state.
A ritual Mak Yong performance is more elaborate than that
staged for entertainment, combining shamamanism, feasting the
spirits and dance theatre. It reflects the deep, mystical significance
 of Mak Yong's stories and dances, and its original aim to serve as
a conduit to the spirit world. Ritual performances are enacted for
spiritual healing, to pay homage to a teacher and for the graduation
of a performer.
The late Cik Ning was a leading Mak Yong performer in the 1980s.
