3 years, 8 months, 20 days




Actresses Chhon Sina, Kauv Sotheary and Pok Sovanna were children in 1975 when the Khmer Rouge herded thousands of people out of Phnom Penh. Now the three women, in their forties, have turned their childhood memories of that era into a play, recounting their experiences in the 3 years, 8 months, 20 days of the brutal Pol Pot regime.
An epic tale intimately spoken by the actresses and adapted to the theatre by the stage director. It also incorporated Cambodian songs, poetry and live video images into the production.
Viscerally-charged yet powerfully restrained, this docu-performance is an ode to loss and memory, and also a celebration of life and change.
