    Swansong or rebirth?

    Life, Stan Gayuski, Published on 22/08/2017

    ยป The final production of Opera Siam's 16th season earlier this month at the Thailand Cultural Centre was a revival of the much-praised third work in Somtow Sucharitkul's 10-part DasJati -- Ten Lives Of The Buddha, the story of a young boy named Sama whose devotion to his parents was so exemplary that it overcomes even death itself. In the opera, a statue of an ancient yakkhini -- a giantess -- comes to life to inform the citizens of Varanasi that the slain youth, once her son seven lifetimes before, is a Bodhisattva. The boy returns to life, and the ruler and people of Varanasi learn that a mother's love can extend across worlds and generations.
