Description:
The Glass Box is music for a solo Cambodian classical dance, choreographed by Sophiline Cheam Shapiro, that explores the relationship between contemporary Cambodian women and tradition, expressing the paradox that traditional culture ca at once celebrate feminine virtue and imprison women through restrictive social rules that are often enforced by other women.
Inspired by the story of a friend who was gunned down on a Phnom Penh street, presumably for having an affair with another woman's husband, The Glass Box features a goddess who is hiding from danger, having been accussed of behaving disreputably.
