An MP3 interview of Khieu Samphan. Producers/marketers unlabeled.
I don’t think everyone is interested in the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, or the arcane machinery of it.
But the history and the culpability of the accused definitely seems to be getting some attention.

Tonight (Saturday, December 29) is your second and last chance to see Germain’s Story, a collaborative performance between puppeteer Cécile Hurbault and Sovanna Phum.
The story utilizes live actors, french and Cambodian puppets to tell a short comedic story in three languages. Bravo!
I was also blown away by the increasing sophistication of Sovanna Phum’s adaptation of Pognakay, a tale from the Reamker (Khmer Ramayana). I’ve seen the story close to a dozen times, but this visit I frequently put my camera down just to enjoy the sheer spectacle of it. Mixing traditional forms of dance and different types of shadow puppetry, it’s a ‘must-see’ if you’ve got the opportunity.
Show starts at 7:30 pm (arrive early if you can) – Adults $5, Children $3.
Sovanna Phum, 111 Street 360, (corner 105) Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Two Fish Gallery yesterday presented ‘Glimpse of Cham’, a photo exhibition by Elyse Lightman. The photos and accompanying writing provide an intriguing peek into rural Cham life, a village that is worlds away from the West and Phnom Penh.
Below: the photographer discusses her work with university students.
