Night Please Go Faster / The Glass Box
The National Theater will present two performances of “Night Please Go Faster” – an evening of contemporary Cambodian dance and theater, including “The Glass Box”: a contemporary dance by Sophiline Cheam Shapiro (who choreographed RUFA’s Cambodian dance interpretation of “Othello”) inspired by the tragic death of the great Cambodian dancer Piseth Pilika and “Photographs From S-21“: a short play by Catherine Filloux, in Khmer with English simultaneous sur-titles.
Saturday and Sunday July 19 and 20, 6pm at the North Campus Theater of the Royal University of Fine Arts, Street 70 next to the Old Stadium. Tickets riel 3,000, available at the door. Performances sponsored by the Kasumisou Foundation.
Program Note: A show entitled “Photographs from S-21: 1975-1979″ was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the summer of 1997. In the play, two photos come to life in this true-life exhibit. They are a young Cambodian woman and man whose photos were taken by the Khmer Rouge right after removing their blindfolds at the Tuol Sleng Prison in Phnom Penh.
