An absolute visual delight is an evening out to catch the KAAN SHOW Pattaya Review: A Spectacular Cinematic Live Experience in Pattaya, Thailand.
KAAN, a state-of-the-art audio-visual stunner, reimagines six famous Thai legends.
They were brilliantly choreographed with a cast of over 90 actors, aerial acrobats, six baby elephants, and a horse!
The twists and turns of this epic production, which features projection mapping, moving sets, eight-meter animatronics, and aerial silk, are mind-blowing.
I watched with my mouth open and marveled at the ingenuity of the seamless, incredible special effects, talented actors, superb lighting, and pitch-perfect sound system.
The show is modern, funny and relevant.
KAAN even plays with his smartphone in several scenes, and his messages constantly buzz at the most inappropriate times.
The intricate and elaborate costumes are well designed for performance, and the actors and acrobats tumble around without any wardrobe malfunctions.
The Story of KAAN
The show seamlessly stitches these epic stories inspired by folklore and famous Thai literature, including Ramayana, Prince Apai Mani, Krai Thong, and others.
This is storytelling at its best.
Special effects draw the audience into the art audio-visual stunner adventure with KAAN.
Six famous Thai legends are reimagined into a “Spectacular Cinematic Live Experience” as we traverse imaginary worlds.
The protagonist, Kaan, is dragged inside a storybook that bears his name.
He is lost in another dimension.
Kaan is tasked with his sidekick, Gabilpuksa, to help the heroes of popular Thai folklore.
They have to wager everything to find a way to return to the mortal world.
The Task and The Amulet
Every time Kaan is successful in helping an ancient hero, and is given an amulet.
The amulets form a key that will help him return home.
- KAAN gives new life to these famous Thai folktales
- Phra Aphai Mani (The Wrath of the Sea Giantess)
- Phra Suthorn-Manorah (The Colors of Himmavanta)
- Manimekhala-Ramasura (The Chase of Lightning)
- Sangthong (The Wager for the Ivory Kingdom)
- Kraithong (The Underwater Abyss)
- Ramakien (The Cataclysm)
The show narrows the gap between the conventional stage and the cinematic world experience.
The magical scenes resemble Avatar’s cinematic world, Pirates of the Caribbean, and even Power Rangers.
Award-winning B-boy dancers and members of the national Thai gymnastics team perform unexpected acts, aerial acrobatics, street dance, and martial arts.
There are dancing elephants.
The director assures us that they live happily when not performing.
I observed and noticed that the elephants are highly trained.
Their matadors only need to tug at their ears or motion with their hands.
KAAN’s show exceeds our expectations with the visual adaptation. It is a show for adults and children to enjoy.
As for me, I was thrilled with the unexpected twists and turns and visual effects.
I remember telling my companions that this shows that Malaysian would say” “Die die must g”!”
