Phare Ponleu Seplak is a visual and performing arts public school run by a non-profit organization. They teach at-risk children basic reading and writing along with skills like art, music, acting, and acrobatics at no cost. Many of the children suffer from, not only lack of education, but also difficult home lives. The school uses art and culture as tools to help the children's psychological needs.
The show was held under a big top tent with circular seating, just like a real circus. Each performance tells a story. The one I saw was called "Chills" which explored the common belief among Cambodians that ghosts are all around us.
