Mak yong (Jawi: مق يوڠ ; Thai: มะโย่ง, RTGS: ma yong) is a traditional form of dance-drama from northern Malaysia, particularly the state of Kelantan. It was banned by the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party because of its animist and Hindu - Buddhist roots which pre-date Islam in the Asian region by far. [ 1 ]
Similar to Mak Yong, the stories are presented through dialogue, song and dance. The musicians and actors of the theatre are exclusively male, playing both male and female roles. The basic dance movements are limited, abbreviated, crude and mainly focus on the arms, especially the to-and-fro, and up and down swinging.
