Trojan Women

Displaced Trojans moan themselves hoarse in a new adaptation of Euripides' searing refugee tragedy, conceived and directed by Singapore's Ong Keng Sen for the National Changgeuk Company of Korea (making its BAM debut in this year's Next Wave festival). The text, by Bae Sam-sik, is augmented by music by two composers: Korean Living National Treasure Ahn Sook-sun, a master of the ancient singer-and-drummer storytelling tradition of pansori, and K-pop producer and Parasite composer Jung Jae-il. Performances are in Korean with English subtitles.
