Thai Carmen

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, September 26th – 27th and October 03rd – 04th, 2009. For reservation call 02 670 42 03.
