Princess Bari
Eun-Me Ahn
Présentation ///////////////////////////////
Deamons in polka dot dresses, magician-healers on platform shoes, temple servants with pink rubber gloves or spirits floating in the air in their birthday suit... Resolutely faithful to tradition and definitely pop, Symphoca Princess Bari deploys some treasures of choreographic and formal inventiveness to fit better the millenary epic into modern days.
Pansori singers and bad boys from Seoul, scooters and parasols, balloons and lamé mix with harmony in this opulent production, bringing together dancers, singers and musicians. Behind this crazy "Symphoca", one find a dazzling creator, Eun-Me Ahn,with a total, intimate and blazing work.
Famous shamanist tale, the Princess Bari epic finds here an interpretation as radical as it is faithful. Abandoned by her father the King - who wanted to have a boy - and thrown into the see, the princess is taken into by a fisherman and will have to face many ordeals and many adventures to save her seriously ill father. An initiative journey and a story of courage and fidelity - that has been reinterpreted along centuries in novel, television series and manga - celebrating forgiveness and the power of women.
