In a unique blend of contemporary and folk theater, The King’s Language retells a culturally specific story about the genesis of a nation’s formative growth as a people yet ultimately serves to reexamine the universal human experience of language. It is told with whimsy through rhythmic beats of a native drum punctuated with dialogue, song and movement. This Korean musicality performed mostly in English playfully traverses culture to incite awareness in audiences of a fundamental human tool we often take for granted—casting a spotlight on what we risk as a species if it is eroded.
