Then, Khun Pichet lead to next topic about problem of dance performance in Thailand. In Thailand we do not have light designer that use technology combine with art. So Khun Pichet want to make audiences see the energy of dancer, the movement of muscle and have feeling in the tiredness of dancer(like breath). He want to make audience feel without any movement and to make feeling strongly than human can do.
     Next, we see some of performance (2 acts) this has inspiration from "Naai Nai(นายใน) book". which tell about the life in King rama 6 and play performed by all female but in King rama 6, he change from female to be male. Khun Pichet interpret that the theatre can protect people from pressure of society and water bag in performance mean world.
