Survival Games will be staged in the main auditorium of Pridi Banomyong Institute from today to Monday and from Jan 17 to 21.
Wellcome Collection (part of the Wellcome Trust, a UK-based global charitable foundation) has commissioned six artists-in-residence in six countries to produce works inspired by local scientific research.
One of them is B-Floor Theatre, Thailand's vanguard contemporary theatre company, and their performance is titled Survival Games.
After having investigated the work of malaria and melioidosis researchers at the Wellcome Trust Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (Moru), B-Floor will present their latest creation on the endless battle between humans and ever-mutating diseases and the survival instincts of both.
Survival Games is directed by Teerawat Mulvilai and Nana Dakin, two B-Floor directors whose works have been critically acclaimed in Thailand and abroad. It boasts a cast of veteran stage performers and also features the innovative contemporary Thai shadow puppetry of The Wandering Moon troupe.
Admission is free. For reservations, contact B-Floor Theatre on 089-167-4039 or email bfloortheatre@gmail.com.
