Foon Tou : the Shan's mythical hybird dance.
According to the Shan legend, TOU is a mythical creature living in the Himmapan forest. It is a hybird of yak, deer, mountain goat, and lion. The legend has it that after the Buddha went to heaven to preach for his mother ans returned to the earth, all the animals in the Himmapan forest went to greet him. TOU was among the animals who gladly danced to welcome the Buddha back. The TOU's dance was said to be imitated and adapted into this Foon-Tou performance.
Two dancers, one controlling the head and another the tail parts of TOU model, perform together to execute some lively moves of the mythical hybird. Foon_TOU is perfomed by The Suen Saan Laay Thai group, Piang Luang School, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
