Cambodian Rock Band

March 6 @ 7:30 pm - April 6 @ 9:30 pm

$29 – $129

History and music combine in this theatrical journey. In Cambodian Rock Band, six actor-musicians make up the cast and perform a mix of contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies. Lauren Yee brings to vivid life the Cambodian rock scene of the ‘60s and ‘70s, a movement cut short by the Khmer Rouge’s brutal attempt to erase the music—and musicians.

This darkly funny, genre-defying play tells the story of a Khmer Rouge survivor returning to Cambodia after thirty years, just as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of the country’s most notorious war criminals. While an onstage band brings foot-stomping hits to life, the electric play shifts back and forth in time as the father reveals family secrets that exhibit the enduring power of music and the resilience of the human spirit.
