Likay Hulu, or Dike Hulu, is a traditional folk performance of Malay Muslims in southern Thailand. The script consists of rhythmic songs accompanied by music and clapping. The performance conveys meaning through gestures and rhythmic movements, such as waving hands to symbolize a call for protection of the sea. A clapping gesture mimics the movement of fish, illustrating their struggle to survive threats like bomb fishing, drag nets, and push nets. The act of pulling a rope together represents cooperation and unity, using the fishing rope—a vital tool for local fishermen—as a symbol of collective strength within the community.
