✦ Khon, the Khon Masked Dance Drama in Thailand, is a performing art that combines musical, vocal, literary, dance, ritual, and handicraft elements. Khon performances which involve graceful dance movements, instrumental and vocal renditions, and glittering costumes – depict the glory of Rama, the hero, and incarnation of the god Vishnu, who brings order and justice to the world.
