Arts
In this fourth episode, Colin and Donald chat with performer Sasapin "Pupe" Siriwanij, a core member of the avant-garde physical theatre troupe, B-Floor. Pupe talks about how she came to understand social restrictions on the female body and female identity. She also explains how physical theater allows her to pose—and explore—difficult questions about what it means to be Thai in a culture that doesn’t always welcome such questions. The hosts discuss the appearance of the unidentified objects moving towards Earth from Mars—what some are calling “the whales." Donald tries to calm Colin’s increasing anxiety and explains the deal with elephants in Thailand. Written and Produced by Donald and Colin. Edited and Mixed by Colin.
