Cambodian Stories

Cambodian Stories is Eiko & Koma's multi-disciplinary collaboration with Reyum Painting Collective, young painters who study and work at the Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In addition to Eiko & Koma, who perform alongside their Cambodian artist colleagues, the creative collaborators include Reyum Institute founder Daravuth Ly, who functions as dramaturg, and Cambodian-born music ethnologist Sam-Ang Sam.

The performance includes two collective, large-scale action-paintings created collaboratively by the performers. The work explores the intersection of these lithe, youthful bodies, the Cambodian landscape and the voices past and present that inhabit it.

Co-produced by Inta, Inc, the Asia Society (New York) and Reyum Institute (Phnom Penh).
