The Rice Child
October 26 (7.30 pm.) & 27 (2.00, 7.30 pm.), 2010
Crescent Moon Space
(Pridi Banomyong Institute)
Crescent Moon’s experiments with music and songs, sand drawings, and a playful mix of shadow puppets – marionette and paper - to tell their story. Inspired by a Mekong folktale about bearing fruits from the same seed, theirs is a story about the friendship of two children, descended from two different cultures. Wawa comes from a minority group in Myanmar (Burma) and migrates to Thailand with her parents. Kao, just like the other Thai children, thinks that Wawa is different and joins the others in bullying her. But these children learn to know more about each other when they began to enjoy playing together. As they begin to see that they have more things in common, the relationship between Wawa and Kao evolved from discrimination to acceptance, from enmity to friendship, and from disunity to harmony.
