Khontemporary twist: Thai classical dancer Pichet Klunchun will perform About Khon November 21 and 22 at the Cultural Centre.

Thai classical dancer Pichet Klunchun will team with French choreographer-provocateur Jerome Bel to present About Khon November 21 and 22 at the Cultural Centre.

 

The performance puts Thailand's court dance drama Khon in a contemporary spotlight, comprising a section of English dialogue between the two groundbreaking artists followed by the centuries-old dance by the Pichet Klunchun Dance Company.

 

Fusing East and West, About Khon premiered last year and has appeared in numerous arts festivals across Asia.

 

The shows will be staged at 8pm each night. Tickets are $120 and $200 at URBTIX outlets. Click here for programme details or call 2370 1044.
