“Good old rock ’n’ roll, Cambodian-style. Clap your hands, everybody, and sing along!”
–The New York Times
Guitars tuned. Mic checked. Get ready to rock! This darkly funny hit play with music tells the story of a Khmer Rouge survivor returning to Cambodia for the first time in thirty years, as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of Cambodia’s most infamous war criminals. Backed by a live band playing contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time as father and daughter face the music of the past.
Content Warnings: Cambodian Rock Band contains fog effects, loud explosion sounds, and rock concert flashing lights. This show includes violence, language, and descriptions and depictions of genocide.
