Thai culture through a Western drama of love and death. Traditional Thai Nang Talung puppet theater, modern dance and opera: Bangkok is about to get a very own Carmen.
The Thai adaption of Georges Bizet’s opéra comique with sweet love songs and marching tunes will receive quite a facelift.
Here some first teasers shot by fashion photographer Paul Aroon of the Thai gipsy girl Carmen putting as spell on Thai Don José. A promising experimental piece, not to miss:
Carmen is directed by Kriengsak Silakong, choreography by Jitti Chompee, and will be performed at Alliance Française, Sept. 26 — 27th and Oct. 03 — 04th, 2009. For reservation call 02 670 42 03.
