Praised by the New York Times during its US tour, Pichet Klunchun Dance Company's Chui Chai finally lands in Bangkok at Patravadi Theatre today and tomorrow, and August 14 and 15, at 7:30pm. Chui Chai, which means transformation, is part of the "Nang Loi" episode from the Ramakian epic. In the episode, demon maiden Benyakai was ordered by her uncle Todsakarn, the demon king, to transform herself to Sita, the wife of his enemy King Rama, as a trick to stop the war. The task of transformation is almost impossible, however Benyakai obliges. Pichet Klunchun highlights the difficulty in Benyakai's task, echoing Thailand's uneasy passage into modernity. At one level he represents the changes in Thai society from the Ayutthya period to the present by various dance forms. In another vein, uncertainties and doubts about the nation become an undercurrent in the work, provoking thoughts about the identity of Thailand and its people. The lighting is designed by Asako Miura and music directed by Sinnapa Sarasas.
In my opinion, The Chui Chai are important for Thailand. The most people are interest and track story about Chui Chai. If you wants to know history and regent about Chui Chai you should find it on the internet or buy a book at library. The Chui Chai have history interest especially, Nang Loi thai people are interest it very much. Finally, if you wants to buy ticket to watch The history of Chui Chai you should track on the internet.
