Starting in June, you can catch a new shadow puppet show at the National Museum put on by Cambodian Living Arts. It’s a new piece and the acting is incredible. Very well done. The storyline is on a projector on the side for people who don’t speak Khmer, but for the Khmer-speaking audience, I would really recommend that they go see it because I don’t think they realise how tailored it is to a Khmer audience. It’s hilarious. It’s classic Khmer comedy, not like the stuff you see on TV. It has really well thought-out lines. It’s funny and they make jabs and pokes while telling this ancient story – The War of Indrajit – which is a rarely told piece of the Ramayana. It’s very unique – a great show.
