Pichet Klunchun Dance Company presents "Chui Chai"

“In this day and age dance doesn’t have to be beautiful, but Mr. Klunchun’s Chui Chai, a premiere, was gorgeous from start to finish.” —The New York Times

“Chui Chai” is part of the famous “Nang Loi” (Floating Lady) episode from the Ramayana epic. Here, we retell “Chui Chai,” highlighting the difficulty of transforming from the view of the demon maiden Benyakai. Her great demon uncle, Thodsakarn, asks her to become Sita—wife of Rama and the quintessentially “Thai” woman—to fool Rama into ending the war. Thodsakarn’s kidnapping of Sita sparked the war with Rama, who fought to get Sita back. To end the war with Rama, Thodsakarn asks Benyakai to become Sita, whom she does not know. Although troubled, Benyakai transforms.
Our retelling of “Chui Chai” here also shows our difficult passage to modernity. We see how the transformation of our society and our country has brought progress and improvement, but also mistakes and losses.. |
