Princess Bari
When the Queen bears him a seventh daughter instead of a longed for son, the King throws the child into the sea. Brought up by a fisherman, the 16 year-old Princess Bari is told the truth of her identity. On her journey to her father's kingdom she faces many trials and adventures. Once there, she finds the King is gravely ill. She is the only one who can save him. In desperation, she embarks on a harrowing journey to the underworld to plead for his life. Dressed in elaborately embroidered and richly coloured costumes, dancers and musicians transform a dark tale of devotion, identity and adventure into a very modern allegory. This opulent production, from one of Korea's most exciting contemporary choreographers, Eun-Me Ahn, fuses traditional artforms, including Pansori, with scintillating and highly original dance theatre. Please note this show contains partial nudity. Duration: 1hr 30mins approx.
