US Debut of Cho-In Theatre Company from S. Korea with The Angel and The Woodcutter.
A deeply moving piece of theatre with a strong anti-war message.
Koreans believe that a long time ago, angels came down from the heavens to bathe. Cho-In Theatre takes the beloved tale of an angel who falls in love with a woodcutter, and in a striking new version sets it amidst a terrible war, where the angel must sacrifice everything for her family. Cho-In Theatre tells this story entirely without words, using puppets, exquisite choreography and traditional music, to give a unique insight into Korea’s rich history and culture. Presented by Korean Cultural Center and SFIAF 2009.
