With RAMAKIEN - THROUGH WESTERN EYES, Marco Wilms now tells the pop fairy tale version: Prince Rama is reborn as a teenager in today's Bangkok, as the prince next door, so to speak. His adored Princess Sida becomes a teen girlfriend, whom the demon Thotsakan - here in the form of a Swedish manager - lures out of paradise with promises. In the Forest of Mourning, the magical monkey Hanuman explains to the unfortunate and unsuspecting Prince Rama that he is predestined to destroy the demon in battle. This is his only chance to win his lover back. Teeny Prince Rama submits. And although in the end, the victor seems to collapse under the weight of the trials of his love, he understands that every person must face their fate.
