It's a wrap
The entertainment year in review
Published: 23/12/2009 at 12:00 AM
Newspaper section: Outlook

It seems like we've blinked our eyes twice only, and 2009 is nearing its end. It's hard to believe that an entire year has passed already and the decade is also coming to a close. As always, it's been fun-filled year with ups and downs. Some months were quiet while some were action-packed.

Before getting all giddy over Christmas and New Year's presents, 'Outlook' would like to take some time to reflect on the passing year. We've selected our top five in local music events, movies and the performing arts.




Tistou Nak Pluke Ton Mai (Tistou)

In this charming collaboration between Crescent Moon Theatre and Kae Dam Dam Puppet Group, the world is transformed with the touch of a child's hands. Adapted from the French children's novel, Tistou les pouces verts, by Maurice Druon, this marionette and shadow puppet production is thoroughly delightful for both children and adults. Director and Sipathorn artist Sineenadh Keitprapai has been with the Crescent Moon from the time the company dealt heavily with political and social issues. Today Sineenadh, who's the current head of Crescent Moon, is actively providing space for new directors and writers. Although the works that the troupe has been supporting seem to lack real substance of late, this uplifting puppet production casts a new brighter light on the company. It's a far cry from what Crescent Moon once was, but its honesty and innocence are undeniably powerful and breathtaking.
