Neang Kakei is a work created in the form of Bassac theater (Cambodian opera theater). The work represents the revival and development of the Bassac theater form. The artistic director and Bassac theater master Sek Savuth introduced new ideas on costumes and movements into this work as a result of workshops between Cambodian Bassac artists and Peking Opera master Wu Hsing-guo. Supported by the Asian Cultural council, the final work was presented in Phnom Penh in July 2006.
