About The Show

Eclipse

How far would someone go to fight back against rejection and bullying?

In a rural Cambodian village, a disfigured young man is rejected. He wonders why he is cursed and seeks help from the gods. They answer his prayers by transforming him into a beautiful woman with magical powers. Using this new form, he attracts the attention and desire of the village men. But, the villagers quickly discover there’s something sinister about the newcomer.

Based on traditional Cambodian folktales, Eclipse is a story of rejection, revenge, spirit possession and eventual forgiveness set to original music and told through a dramatic mix of theater, Apsara dance and modern circus arts.
