Travelling through Phra Khanong space and time, the audiences will be experiencing the moments of Nak’s transformation during her final stage of delivery and Nak’s transmogrification when she found out about human-ghost frontier. The performance will utilize the essence of body movements and choreographic language to explore human and non-human postures as well as to interact with design elements on stage. When otherness becomes the enemy and sameness feels secure, can true love break all laws and never die? Adapted from the most well-known legend in Thailand, “Land and Skin (The Ballad of Nak Phra Khanong)” re-narrates and unfolds the story from its first version “Mak, Nak and People of Phra Khanong” that has been selected to perform at the Prague Quadrennial 2015.
與我不同的他者,就一定是敵人嗎?《土地和肌膚》與電影《幽魂娜娜》同是改編自泰國民間最有名的鬼故事「帕卡農的娜娜民謠」,曾獲選在2015年布拉格劇場設計四年展演出。從當代的觀點,帶觀眾回到1840年的曼谷鄉下,訴說一個衝撞常規、對抗主流社會、跨越陰陽兩界的淒美愛情鬼故事。
