::::: Makhampom Theatre Group :::::

We are not makhampom, the fruit. We are Makhampom, the theatre group. We do theatre for community cultural development. We are 26 years old. We grew out of Thailand’s 1970s pro-democracy movement. We provide marginal Thai communities with theatre as micro media to address local issues and discriminations. We train facilitators and educators in Thailand and internationally. We explore a contemporary Thai theatre and are prolific performers. We have an extensive schools touring and theatre in education program. We perform at the Bangkok Theatre Festival and international festivals. We host Study Tours and Theatre Laboratories. We live and work with our partner communities in Chiang Dao. We are a team of over 60 volunteers. We are a big family. We are like a folk community. We are playful. We are poor. We have a culture of fun. We have our weaknesses. We have our strengths. We are Makhampom. We are now also the Makhampom Foundation.
