Hunger reunite Eiko & Koma with Charian (Chakreya So, age 19) and Peace (Setheap Sorn, age 20), two of the young Cambodian visual artists-turned-performers they first worked with when they began to develop Cambodian Stories in Phnom Penh during 2004-2006. Setting their 1983 duet Grain on Peace and Charian in 2007, also at ADF, made Eiko & Koma want to revisit its elemental theme of hunger, but on a vaster scale.
