Performances
Saturday, May 12, 2018 at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
RSVP required
In collaboration with the Festival Accès Asie
Festival Accès Asie and OBORO present Chittakone Thirakul’s automaton orchestra of transformed keyboards, kids bobbles and modified toys supported by amplified and distorted organic sounds. Chittakone also mixes a song and a dialogue in Tai Dam by his grandparents into this sound whirlwind. The work combines a childlike wildness with the maturity of an adult, destroying sounds to create a veritable creative catastrophe.
Free – Reservation required for the 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. shows: https://bit.ly/2v7txk3
