Be enchanted by the essence of the East as you fall under the spell of the glorious dances of divine inspiration performed at the Aksra Theatre. Aksra has been specially designed in the luxurious “Asian baroque” style that highlights Thai arts and architecture in a 600 seat space acoustically equipped to international orchestra standards.
The Aksra Theatre is an elegant medium-sized horseshoe shaped theatre crafted and finished with exquisite fixtures. The theatre’s stylish touches combine with its state-of-the-art technical features to create a setting for lavish entertainment.
Aksra Theatre is home to the Aksra Hoon Lakorn Lek small rod puppet show, a cultural symbol representative of Thailand’s rich artistic tradition. Aksra Hoon Lakorn Lek provides audiences with a cabaret-style show of rod puppets weaving together music, spectacular set design, costumes, light and sound with superbly choreographed Thai classical dance.
Aksra Hoon Lakorn Lek troupe of Thai classical puppeteers are highly artistic and skilled in orchestrating puppets with flawless precision, rendering performances of sublime harmony that bring the puppets to life in the presentation of scenes from diverse stories including the famous “Ramayana” ancient epoch.
Aksra Theatre is one of the few remaining venues where the Hoon Lakorn Lek puppet performances can still be seen. During the 75-minute performance, you will be charmed by hilarious interludes and the Jongkraben Orchestra that performs with both Thai and Western instruments.
Aksra Theatre is the only location in Thailand designed to host a range of superior quality spectacular performances from around the country and world. Aksra Hoon Lakorn Lek represents the evolutionary pinnacle of this iconic Thai art form and Aksra Theatre is the venue taking it into the future.
