Sugung-ga: The other side of the world

Theatre Moksung fuses international influences with traditional Korean artforms in this charming puppetry and pansori/storytelling performance, perfect for audiences of all ages.

$19 - $35 (Service fee may apply)
50 Mintues
24 - 25 March

Introducing a version of the classic tortoise and the hare fable into this wonderfully creative setting, Sugung-ga: The Other Side of the World tells the story of two animals from different walks of life – and the misunderstandings that arise from their encounter. 

Pansori performer Eunsil Noh and cellist Jan Pech combine the exquisite puppet and object work of master artist Suho Moon with theatrical imagination and non-traditional instruments. Performed in English (with Korean expressions), their innovative staging is intimate, richly emotive and a sheer delight.

★★★★ “Incredibly charming... It’s witty, gently entertaining and a joy to hear traditional storytelling well told.” — Voice Magazine 

“A captivating show... a joyous, inventive watch.” — Theatre Full Stop 

“Masterful storytelling... Delightful.” — Theatre Board
