Yao Yao: Audience Reactions

Fantasies and dreams come alive on stage!

Yao Yao was produced by BRUSH Theatre and was directed by Kiljun Lee, performed by Actors Byungwook Cho and Heeae Lee, with musical contributions by Sangguon Seo.

This magical piece of Theatre centres on the character of Yao Yao, who wishes more than anything to spend time with her Dad. Regardless of her struggles to see more of him, he takes his big black briefcase and leaves. As he does, a thread from his jacket unravels and Yao Yao is able to use it as a vehicle to travel to an imaginary and fantastical world which comes alive onstage.

The following video (2 minutes) gives a taste of the vibrant, moving, funny and authentic performance:
