This evening attend a performance of ‘Phare, the Cambodian Circus’. The professional artists of Phare Ponleu Selpak (PPS) will perform either Putho! or Eclipse. Set up in Battambang in 1994 by young returnee Cambodians from the refugee camps who learned about using art as a means of coping with trauma, PPS has played an influential role in promoting and developing Khmer culture over the years after the Khmer Rouge genocide. The hour long show mixes traditional and modern theater, music, dance, acrobatics, juggling and contortion performed in a story about Cambodian lives and society.
