Showcasing contemporary Cambodian culture that transcends time and disciplines

The village festival BonnPhum is held on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and attracts 140,000 mostly young people over three days. The event will now visit Tokyo under the direction of the festival producer Lomorpich Rithy to showcase contemporary culture in Cambodia. With an average age of 24, Cambodia is a nation where youth culture is dominant in society but where the number of people able to pass on its traditional performing arts has rapidly declined due to oppression during the Pol Pot era and the influence of modernism. From a lecture by Lomorpich Rithy to film screenings, music from a popular local band, and traditional dance, the venue atmosphere is like a village in which the old and the new coexist.
