Water is a priceless treasure, facing the reality of global warming.
All countries in the world are concerned by the frequency of natural disasters as the consequences of climate change, and especially Asia.
Artonik’s new creation is a journey through twelve dance art scenes,
evoking oceans of plastic, interminable walks merely to fetch water, arid lands
and the slow death of diverted rivers.
Through a night procession in the streets - much like the Mekong flows
through China to the valleys of Cambodia - Artonik mixes Khmer traditions
with contemporary choreographic, musical and graphic production.
Sangkhumtha : HOPE brings to light the urgency of acting for the climate
, and carries the hope for a preserved Earth.
SHADOW THEATER
Artonik collaborates with 2 artists, Caroline Sury and Craoman on the graphic projections, as done in the Sbek Thom, Cambodia’s shadow theater.
MUSIC
The three musicians, already present in ‘The Color of Time’, will accompany the action and the projected images reminiscent of the Khmer shadow theater. Their live compositions mix traditional
classic and modern instruments, amplified sounds and natural tones.
