Description Likay is one of Thailand’s oldest performing arts and is characterized by a high degree of audience participation. The roots of the name Likay can be traced to the Hebrew word zakhur, meaning “reciting to praise the Lord.” Stories in Likay are often inspired by classical works of literature and include stories of love, deception, and comedic episodes. In modern times, new stories have been added to the artform as it is now performed at weddings, ordainment ceremonies, funerals, and temple events. This video shows the various essential elements of a Likay performance and the story of the members of a troupe that transmits Likay as a family business.
