Organised by TISCO Foundation, Mother, Dear and I go to see the traditional Thai theatrical puppetry, "The Birth of Tossakanth", at Joe Louis Puppet Theatre, Suam-Lum Night Bazaar. Hun Lakorn Lek was invented 100 years ago by Master Krae Saptawanit but disappeared after the World War II started. It was brought to life again by Joe Louis (Sakorn Yangkhieosod), Thailand's 1996 National Artist. Each puppet requires the synchronised efforts of three puppeteers, all of whom appear on stage with the puppet, and each of whom is a khon dancer.
The show is impressive and fun. Mother loves the show and she is kissed many times by Hanuman and Benchakai. Dear is however sympathized with Nontuk and wishes he (Nontuk) won the battle.
