Columnist Varanyoo “Ball” Intrakumhang tells us about his fascination with aliens and how it inspired his directorial debut with B-Floor Theater, Starman.

How did this production come about?
Starman was initially an excerpt I put together for Read for Peace, held by Crescent Moon Theater last year. Although it was short, the piece received so much positive feedback that I decided to develop and expand it into a proper production. It’s inspired by an article I wrote about a Thai organization who claimed to have successfully contacted aliens as well as Tinnakorn Hutangkoon’s novel Jood Tud Bon Sen XY and David Bowie’s song of the same name.
 

Why aliens?
I’ve always been intrigued by the notion of an extraterrestrial life. As a writer, I find myself constantly writing about it. Do you really think we’re alone in this vast universe? It’s just one of those unsolved mysteries I find fascinating and would like to explore further.
 

B-Floor Theater’s productions have always been experimental, what can we expect to see in this one?
We will employ a lot of shadow techniques to mesh together the story. Since it’s experimental, we’re still ironing out the kinks in our rehearsals. However I think it’s going to be quite a memorable piece.
