"Shadow Theatre" brings viewers into the world of imagination of Spanish artist and designer Jaime Hayon, at Chai Phatthanasilp Building on Charoen Krung Road, daily from 11am to 9pm, until Sunday Feb 13.

Presented by The Standard as part of the ongoing "Bangkok Design Week 2022", the exhibition explores his unique and intriguing vision of a "Circus Fantasy" concept, which comes with a large installation of art pieces inspired by nang talung, a traditional style of shadow puppetry in the South of Thailand, to offer a larger-than-life theatrical landscape of vibrant design and creativity where the ordinary is transformed into the extraordinary.
