Intermission

Stuck in the state-enforced past and unable to see the future of his own country, Thanapol proposes ‘Thai postmodern dance’ as a way to navigate Thailand’s socio-political power structure that infiltrates all areas of a citizen’s life - and dance is not an exception.

With Champa Saenprom and Vidura Amranand, the pair whose impossible artistic encounter captivated the crowd at BIPAM2018, Thanapol crafts the inexistent dance movement in Thailand’s dance history where the traditional, the vernacular, and the contemporary meet, collide, interrupt, intersperse, and transform.

This production is a commissioned work from three SEA performing art platforms: BIPAM, Singapore International Festival of Arts, and George Town Festival.
