Lear & his three Daughters // B-Floor

On Tuesday we went at the Gala premiere of “Lear & his three daughters“, presented by B-Floor Theater company, a dance theatre performance inspired by William Shakespeare‘s “King Lear” and directed by Jaa Phantachat. To those who do not know B-Floor , it  is a thai vanguard physical theater company, for more than 10 years it has created visual theater performances combining movement and multimedia elements. The topics of their performances are strongly connected with social and political issues. Their performances are developed through a process of creative collaboration know as Devised Theatre. During the show Lear & his 3 Daughters the audience was literally hypnotized by the movements of the actors, by the light and sound installations. The entire plot is expressed trough human body language, slow movement mixed with contemporary dance. In a era where we are daily bombarded by sounds seeing a performance expressed only by movements and few sounds gives the audience the chance to think, to reflect on the topics and to be totally immersed in the story and being part of it. Once again B-Floor brings you to an other level of engagement, some scenes are stunning and so full of meaning that you start to shudder even if you are in the open courtyard of the Pridi Banomyong Institute, in Thailand where the temperature is  38 C°.  Lear and his 3 daughetrs explores the love, hatred and the relationship in Lear’s family. In love we dance in hate we shut up You must not miss it!
