Furthermore, it illustrates the process by which Pradit Prasatthong,2 a Thai playwright, adapted Aka Oni, a Japanese play-script in his work after he had collaboratively worked with Hideki Noda3 in the original version of Aka Oni in 1997. This paper also exposes Japanese audiences to Likay, a Thai traditional-popular theatre form. Prasatthong4, the director ofLikay Aka Oni, anew version of Noda’s play, has endeavoured to make a contribution to intercultural communication and to produce a performance that can be appreciated by both Thai and Japanese audiences.  \nKeywords: Cultural Encounter and Exchange, Intercultural Performance, Aka Oni, Red Demon, Makhampom Theatre Troupe, Contemporary Likay  \n1 This performance is called Likay Aka Oni (Japanese), Likay Red Demon (English), and Likay Yak Tau Daeng (Thai) .  \n2 Pradit Prasatthong (b. 1960) trained as a sociologist and is an actor-director-playwright in a contemporary and tradition-based contemporary performance, and a former member of the Makhampom Theatre Troupe. He is the first Thailand’s Silapathorn Award Winner (2004) in performing arts. The Silapathorn Award was founded in 2004 by the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture, Ministry of Culture. The Award is given to contemporary Thai artists aged between 30 to 50 in five branches, including visual arts, literature, music, movie and performing arts. Pradit Prasatthong is currently a director and actor of Anatta Theatre Troupe which was founded by him in 2012.  \n3 Hideki Noda (b. 1955) is a renowned Japanese playwright, director, and actor. He is also an art director of Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre (TMT) .  \n4 According to English translation of sounds from Thai, the director’s surname‘Prasatthong’can possibly be written as ‘Prasartthong’.  \nLikay Aka Oni, a Japanese play performed in Thai Likay style, is a tradition-based contemporary performance of a story of cultural differentiation and of communication breakdown. Makhampom Theatre Troupe performed Likay Aka Oni at Jim Thompson Art Centre, Bangkok (2009), Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space (2009) and Esplanade’s Theatre Studio in Singapore (2010), as part of the 2009 Mekong-Japan Exchange celebration held by Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre (TMT) . Discussion in this paper mainly focuses on the Tokyo production, performed between 19 and 23 November 2009, where I joined the production as a staff member of documentation. This paper first identifies the frameworks of intercultural theories which were utilised in Likay Aka Oni. I then discuss the creation process in the text, rehearsal, and performance techniques, in order to demonstrate how the production crafted apiece that crosses cultural and national boundaries in terms of theatre adaptation and hybridisation between Thailand and Japan.  \nCollaborative Exchange in Theatrical Adaptation and Hybridisation  \nPatrice Pavis, in his concept of intercultural theatre, argues that the hybridisation of the intercultural process often results in the original forms being no longer distinguishable (1996, p. 8) . Likay Aka Oni, however, is not such a case. Rather, the intercultural theatre in this project is “a hybrid derived from an intentional encounter between cultures and performing traditions”(Lo and Gilbert, 2002, p. 36) . The production integrates performance elements of different cultures into a form that aims to retain the cultural integrity of the specific materials used in forging a new text and theatre practice (Lo and Gilbert, 2002, p. 5) .
