showed a performance called “Breaking the Silence” to an audience in
Takeo province. The performance was made on the former site of Krang
Ta Chan prison in Tram Kak district. During the Khmer Rouge period
this prison was part of the Southwest Zone’s security apparatus to
weed out those people deemed by the Khmer Rouge as opposing the
revolution. According to survivors, up to 10,000 people were
detained, tortured and executed at this prison. Today, on the ground
of this prison, there is a memorial which housed a few hundred
skulls. At the end of the performance, attendees asked questions and
shared their personal experience. |
