As the final offering of the current theater season, Season of Cambodia will present the definitive masters of the dazzling ancient art form of Cambodian shadow puppetry with four free public, waterfront performances in Lower Manhattan (Brookfield Place Winter Garden, 200 Vesey Street) Today, April 25 through Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. The performances are one of only a handful of free events that are part of Season of Cambodia, a celebration of the country's arts, culture, and humanities that will bring works by more than 125 Cambodian artists to 30 major venues throughout the city. The work serves as a potent symbol of the resilience of the artistic spirit, as many of the performers survived the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror, having to bury their puppets and instruments to preserve this ancient art form.
