The Angel and the Woodcutter
Cho-In Theatre (Korea)
Tickets: €12/€10
Suitable for ages 14+
A beautiful Korean folk tale that speaks of hope, staged entirely without words to haunting music.
This unique and critically acclaimed masterpiece of movement theatre, The Angel and the Woodcutter, tells the story of an angel who ventures down to earth to bathe in the mountain streams, where she is discovered by a woodcutter and his mother.

This production explores the extreme fragility of everyday life, and the strength and endurance of human love. Performed around the world, including a hit run at Edinburgh 2007, it is dramatic, uplifting and utterly compelling.
‘Beautiful, elegant, moving, and a joy to watch, [the show] drives home a powerful anti-war message in a tasteful and dignified way. Fired with passion and devotion, the performance is extremely moving.’ *****Three Weeks 2008
