The forty-ninth anniversary of the 6th October 1976 massacre will be commemorated at Thammasat University next month. Two short plays will be staged at the Sri Burapha Auditorium on 6th October.
6 ตุลา x ราโชมอน (‘6 Oct. x Rashomon’), produced by the Politicle Theatre group, refers to differing historical accounts of the massacre, in the same way that Rashomon (羅生門) recounts a violent event from multiple perspectives. The title of the other play, Ultramarine: Threat, hints at a symbolic meaning of the colour blue.
The first event marking the forty-ninth anniversary took place last week. A similar commemoration was held on the forty-eighth anniversary last year.
