“A tale of love and betrayal.”
Join us for a collaboration with the internationally recognized Angkor Dance Troupe (ADT) in a groundbreaking adaptation of the classic story. This production blends Western ballet with Cambodia’s Robam Kenore traditional dance style, bringing the timeless themes of love, betrayal, and sacrifice to life through Cambodian dancers and musicians. A partnership between ADT and MRT, this unique performance bridges cultures and celebrates Lowell’s vibrant performing arts community.
Merrimack Repertory Theatre is a 2025 NDP Finalist Grant Award recipient.
