Entertainment in Myanmar and Yangon

There are all kinds of entertainment in Myanmar, from cultural shows to marionette performance, theatre, cinemas and plenty of Karaoke entertainment.

Relative good fashion shows entertainment (the fashion show is the local substitution of a modern show elsewhere, since there are strict limits set by the government), with high professional exotic designs, mainly as a add on in various discos offer a interesting entertainment.

Discos for Myanmar entertainment are plenty and full of nice and very cooperative girls, "sing a song" restaurant entertainment many.

A interesting nightlife entertainment is going on near and opposite the Shanghai Shopping Center complex after 8 pm. This is in China town and the spoken name of the road is is -- ten ge say -- and in the basement of the Asia Plaza Hotel.

At both places fashion shows are the entertainment where pretty models show " homemade " fashion with hot background music. The best are in the Asia Plaza Disco from 10 pm to 1 am and the show in the Zero Zone Rock Restaurant (rooftop) from 8.30 pm to 10 pm at  ten gi ze road in Chinatown.

Take the taxi and ask there. " ten gi ze" is the main nightlife spot in Myanmar, in most of the discos you can for sure find a lot of very pretty girls who are quite cooperative to make you happy.

A pleasant place to start the Myanmar - Yangon entertainment is the Zero Zone "Rock Restaurant" with entertainment dancing shows and almost 2 hours of continuous entertainment showing about 10 fashion show groups with plenty of very pretty girls. Have a look it's worth it and try their barbecue buffet, real good stuff, some of the food is Indian style, very tasty. It's natural, they do the barbecue more or less in front of you. They also have a tandoori oven, you can enjoy Myanmar - Yangon entertainment there. Most up market Hotels in Yangon and elsewhere offer some kind of nightlife entertainment. Some offer native shows with Myanmar dancing and a Myanmar orchestra as background music and maybe some artistic show like the Kandawgyi Palace Hotel every evening in context of a dinner show. Pubs and bars are also in the big hotels e.g. a Irish Pub in the Sedona hotel and a hot disco in the Kandawgyi Palace hotel both with plenty of very pretty girls where you can find easily a companion for doing something more later the evening., its just more or less the same as elsewhere in Asia. A other Myanmar nightlife variant are plenty of disco, karaoke and pub - restaurants in certain places like China Town.

All Myanmar entertainment spots are -as it is practically in all Myanmar- very save,

no problem with drunken and / or violent guys, they take out troublemaker immediately, one wishes something like this everywhere not only in Myanmar. All the discos don't allow making photos, don't try it it will end in embarrassment, since the security guys are never further away that about 3 meters.

The nightspots are very cautious on this subject since if there is any bigger trouble they have to shut down for at least 1 month, I think the Myanmar's have a couple of very good regulations.

A Myanmar Pwe, entertainment for everyone.

Traditional Myanmar pwês are the dramatic entertainments inseparable from the many Myanmar festivals, which to the Myanmar are very important. No charge is made to watch these open- air performances. They are paid for by public subscription, or out of the generosity of some citizen and in this way acquires social prestige.

At nine o'clock in the evening the celebrations began. On a raised platform two clowns were giving a slapstick performance, which was funny enough — even when not a word of the dialogue could be understood.

At regular intervals an entertainment dancer camein and sang and danced, she was a tiny, doll-like girl.

She had all the poise and fire of a Spanish flamenco dancer, plus the snake-like head and eye movements of an Indian. To this she added the Myanmar specialty of thrusting out her arms in such extraordinary positions that they appeared to be dislocated at the elbows. As she leaped and cavorted she repeatedly kicked away from her prancing but invisible feet the long skirt and train of the ancient Burmese court-dress she wore — a difficult feat which has been incorporated into the formal movements of the dance. Sometimes the clowns joined in, dancing in  mimicry of the actress, who, as soon as she had finished her piece, would suddenl relapse into a set pose, turn her back on the public, make up her face or drink tea.

For over four hours these clowns would pour outa stream of extempore wit and topical allusion. The Myanmar's adore comedy and although the strait-laced classical plays of neighboring countries have been introduced in the past, they are soon so completely transformed as to become unrecognizable.
Thus the Ramayana, the entertainment play of Sanskrit origin, which runs to some sixty thousand verses and takes three days to present in an abbreviated form, could never survive in Myanmar.

During the day a large stage had been put up with a proper drop-curtain, and for about an hour before the show started a full-scale Myanmar entertainment orchestra had set to work to attract an audience. The instruments for the music entertainment consisted of a heavily carved and gilded circular frame containing seven­teen gongs of various diameters and another housing as many drums. There was a large and very decorative, boat-shaped xylophone, several big drums and several pairs of cymbals. The air was sketched in by a player upon a hne - the Myanmar flute terminating in a horn, which produces notes of a singularly penetrative quality.

Through the wide cracks in the makeshift stage-carpentry, the puppet-masters could be seen, engaged in prayer for some time before the show began. Presumably these prayers are to the thirty-seven nats, the gods of the ancient Myanmar, to whom they also make offerings of food.

When the curtain rose the senior puppet entertainment master leaned over the low backdrop and sang to the audience a lengthy

description of the drama to be presented. The curtain was then lowered, and when it was again raised, the stage was occupied by a puppet dressed as a peasant carrying a large sword, and a dragon of the Burmese or serpentine variety.

After solo dances, followed by a vigorous combat, the dragon was defeated and, since to show the taking of life - even that of a mythological monster - would have been an impropriety, the Myanmar St. George mounted the dragon's back and rode away.

This curtain raiser was followed by a dance by two genial-looking giants and then a series of dances by various birds, a white horse and a monkey.

Each of these performers had its signature tulle which was crashed out by the orchestra whenever it made its appearance. The dances were extremely funny, the puppets being handled with amazing skill. In particular there was a kind of Disney stork, an animal of grotesque benevolence which opened and shut its bill and flapped its eyelids in time to the music. Everything that was essentially stork-like had been captured in this caricature.

On the other hand, human puppets, when the intention was not comic, were manipulated with such fidelity to observed human postures and movements that spectators far back in the audience could easily have had the illusion that they were watching flesh-and-blood players.

After these animal interludes the main performance began, a traditional 'royal play' with the king himself, princes and princesses. the ministers and, of course, clowns. It is interesting that the semi-divine Myanmar kings did not object to these ff6600representations of them­selves, insisting only that the court dress, manners and customs shown should be correct in every detail.

A quite different Myanmar Entertainment Show is going on at many occasions  when the plenty of Myanmar ethnic minorities celebrate their entertainment or festivals like in this case the Naga.

On the legitimate stage royal im­personations could not be carried to the length of wearing the golden shoes.

The supreme symbol of kingly authority and breaches of this ordinance were, once again, supposed to be followed by supernatural retribution in the form of a mortal attack of diarrhea.
