THE PLACE

Following editions in Germany, France, India, Taiwan, Canada, Sweden and Korea, Le Musée (de théâtre) opened its doors in Phnom Penh from 25 to 28 May 2016 at the Institut Français as part of the Franco-German project “Culture and education, instruments of rapprochement”.

Hamlet-machine questions the communist dream and the fall of ideologies. Cambodia is a country particularly affected by these issues. This year’s edition featured some very committed portraits, but they could not say too much in a tense political context, in the run-up to the 2018 elections, when Prime Minister Hun Sen has been in office since 1998.

PERFORMANCE

Traditional Cambodian Apsara dancers from Cambodian Living Arts and a traditional and contemporary dancer, presented by Amrita Performing Arts, took over the installation space to create performances in collaboration with Clyde Chabot that explored the resonance of this play in Cambodia today.

On the last day of the installation, the photos taken in Phnom Penh were publicly video-projected and analysed by artists, thinkers and the public itself.
