Trojan Women
This event has been archived!

Greek tragedy and pansori, an ancient Korean form of musical storytelling, blend in this production from the National Changgeuk Company of Korea and directed by Ong Keng Sen.
Set after the sacking of Troy, Trojan Women sweeps audiences up in the heartbreak and determination of the city’s female survivors. Through a whirlwind of music, dance and theatre – brought to life by over 25 singers, actors and musicians – emerges a stunning portrait of resilience in the face of war and occupation.
Heralded as a visionary director, Ong Keng Sen is famed for his retellings of European classics through Asian performance styles. K-pop producer and Parasite film score composer Jung Jae-il has collaborated with renowned pansori master Ahn Sook-sun to create the original music.
