MORLAM AND PERFORMANCE EVOLUTION

Abstract

            Mor lam is considered a form of performance that has been popular for a long time and has been adjusted to keep up with the changing social trends in terms of creating modernity, lighting, sound, stage, and lead singers of each band to create a trend that people continuously watch and follow through various media Morlam also demonstrates the ability to adapt to modern society while maintaining strong Isan cultural roots. The income of a Morlam troupe comes from performing at festivals, commercial events, ticket sales, sponsorships, and media productions. The expenses of a Morlam troupe include stage rental and sound and lighting equipment, travel expenses, performer and crew salaries, costume expenses, and advertising. A large and well-established Morlam troupe may have a good income and can easily cover its expenses, but a smaller Morlam troupe may need to manage its expenses more carefully in order to continue operating sustainably.
