Six Days in October (The Dead Still Riot) - Wishaya Artamat, Pathipon (Miss Oat) et Duck Unit 2026

Wichaya Artamat, a leading figure in Thailand's new theatre scene, brings his politically charged ghost stories to Paris. The performance explores how Thai society remembers and conceals its history through calendar dates, with October haunted by the specters of disappeared dissidents and violently suppressed protests.

Created in semi-clandestinity, the show uses supernatural tales—popular on Thai radio and YouTube—to uncover political meanings. The theatre itself becomes a space where the dead remember unfinished struggles, stirring a future revolt. Audiences can expect a sensory experience of chills, anxiety, and raised hairs as the machinery of the stage buzzes with strange presences.

Presented in collaboration with the Festival d'Automne, this six-day run at Théâtre de la Bastille offers a unique blend of horror and political commentary. It's a rare chance to witness Artamat's exploration of memory and resistance through the lens of the supernatural.
