Cambodia

How about, after a glorious day exploring the temples of Angkor, coming to unwind just a short distance from downtown Siem Reap by attending a whimsical puppet show? This experience takes place at the charming Bambu Stage, a venue surrounded by lush greenery, providing the perfect setting to relax after a busy day.

An interactive show

The puppet artists at Bambu Stage offer three works from their repertoire. All performances combine spoken word, the manipulation of traditional Cambodian puppets, object theatre, and live music sessions. Subtitles are projected on screen. Each show is preceded by a brief introduction to puppet-making, and at the end, the audience is even invited to join the artists on stage to participate. Their performances are a fusion of various art forms: music, choreography, poetry, costume, and craftsmanship. The stories may range from epic folk tales to those inspired by grand myths. After the performance, you can continue to enjoy this beautiful venue by having dinner or sharing a drink.
