Sufficiency The Minimal (l~EIJv.J8 l08:: 00U8a)
Sasaporn Suthatkul Department of Performance Communication. Albert Laurence School of Communication Arts, Assumption University
1. Creative work name
Sufficiency The Minimal
(l~tJJrHJ 1a<J~ oouoa)
2. Name of artist or designer
Sasapom Suthatkul
3. Background or significant of the project
According to the theme of this sec
ond CA Creative work 2016, this year, is
under the word called 'Sufficiency'. From
this word, it could definitely refer to the
person whom the researcher could think
of as the King Rama 9. Additionally, it has
been so many years that we have heard the
word 'sufficiency economic' or 'sufficiency
philosophy' since we were in high school.
On the other hand, this word of the king's
teaching, has been now presented repeat
ably in various channel of medias after the
date of Thai people griefs on 13th Octo
ber 2016. However, the word 'Sufficiency'
has been understood in terms of economic
and a philosophy as 'Sufficiency philoso
phy' or in Thai as 'lJs1:m,J1~m~tiJ'.
Then, the researcher have researched and
found about king Ra.ma 9's speech about
'Sufficiency' on the date of 4 December
1998 at Saladusitdalai , Chittlada palace ;

As the researcher is a theatre and
drama practitioner, it makes the researcher
thinks that if live performance could be a
tool to represent an idea about 'sufficien
cy', what should the researcher start from?
and which style of live performance that
could 'really' represent the idea of suffi
ciency in a way of living.
This project has been started from
the script of my students from the respon
sible course of the researcher , CA2015
Introduction to Performance Communi
cation. The students have created a live
performance for their final project and
at the last class of the course. Then, Me
and those students decided to create a new
script which based on a previous plot that
they have been presented under the name
of 'Misery of Tone' or in Thai as 'rinuTnu
1aa:iJ:Jfflfia'. However, after have been try
ing to developed the project, the project has
been decided to stopped from the opinion
of the researcher, since the researcher have
found that the researcher would rather not
developed the story which the researcher
not 'really' understand it very well especial
ly in a way of 'solider' content. This time
of this alter allow the researcher to rethink
about the project and have a deeper analy
sis in the script of Misery of Tone instead.
Surprisingly, after the researcher had
a time to have an interpretation process
of Misery of Tone the musical script, the
researcher have found enormous points
about this script with also comes up with
the question that ,actually, started this ~
project. 'Does minimalism is equal to suf-1'1.l
ficiency philosophy of the king's teach- 1 = ing?' Minimalism has been a 'trend' among
young Thai generations in their living in-
eluding fashions, perspective of photogra
phy and the most important and the most
outstanding point is 'the way of their liv
ings' Points that I have found in this young
thai generation can be bullets as follow-

the script is the way that he created a logo
of Misery of Tone and the way that he se
lected the songs for this musical.
The logo of Misery of Tone the musical
From this logo, I have seen that the
way that select the style of the logo is no
more than a text and the background.
Selection of music
As I have found the style of the
music in Misery of Tone the musical, al-~ . ~ most the songs that has been used 1s from t 'Greasy Cafe'. I had interview this student
1 about his love in Greasy cafe artist. Addi= .. 2 tionally, after has been listened to the songs .. ~ of this artist, the word minimalism was the
j first word that the researcher could think rll ,e. of since the researcher have found one re-

THE JOURNEY WITHOUT MAPS
GREASY CAFE
The picture of an album cover of Greary cafe
It is interesting that we might not
have noticed about sufficiency philoso
phy that actually stimulates and a trend
for young Thai generation for these recent
years. These young Thai people have no
idea that they have actually follow the path
of H.M King Rama 9 sufficiency philosophy.
By the way, some young Thai people
might have an idea about sufficient philos
ophy in a way of 'agricultural'. In my opin
ion, most of the media communication
in Thailand frequently present this king's
teaching in this way of agricultural living
but there has not many people pointing
out about the idea if 'a way of living'.
After this script interpretation proc
ess, I had decided to create a live perform
ance which will represent a point of view
of 'Bangkok citizen' towards the king's
""' • teaching in a way that the researcher can -92-
follow the king's path as the way of living ficiency philosophy. Urging new awareness
in sufficiency philosophy as a minimalist. of the target audience about minimalist.
Consequently, the significant of this 4.4 To teach and train students
project would be the point of my research whom the researcher collaborate with,
question; Minimalism is (actually) similar broaden their understanding working proc-
to the King Rama 9's teaching in sufficien
cy philosophy.
4. Project Objective
4.1 To find the answer from the re
search question that does minimalism is
similar to sufficiency philosophy in terms
of the way of living? by using a live per
formance as a tool of communication to
find an answer and also present the mes
sage of the story.
4.2 To experiment about the way of
using concept of minimalism to be put
into six elements of theatre by Aristotle.
furthermore, to find an answer that is it
possible to have a minimalist theatre which
has a minimalism in all elements of thea-
tre?
ess of live performance and enhance their
knowledges of creating live performance
in a real field of working.
5. Concept
A Short one act play by using a mini
malism ideas for being as a core tool for
creating this short play. The researcher will
apply this minimalism ideas within the per
formance by applying this idea into six el
ements of theatre by Aristotle which are
theme, plot, character, diction, sound or
music and spectacles.
