Cam­bo­di­an Liv­ing Arts is a non-prof­it organ­i­sa­tion that hosts Apsara and tra­di­tion­al Khmer dance per­for­mances at the Nation­al Muse­um of Cam­bo­dia. Tick­ets are priced from US$15 and shows are held on Mon­days, Wednes­days and week­ends from 7pm onwards. The organ­i­sa­tion pre­serves tra­di­tion­al Khmer dance that dates back to the 18th cen­tu­ry but was almost lost under the Khmer Rouge regime. [br]

Cam­bo­di­an Liv­ing Arts revived the art by gath­er­ing sur­viv­ing mas­ter artists to train and pass on their knowl­edge to younger gen­er­a­tions. The troupe com­pris­es live singers and musi­cians in tra­di­tion­al Khmer cos­tumes, per­form­ing eight clas­si­cal dances of eth­nic minori­ties from all over Cambodia.
