Remembering Evangeline
About
“It’s complicated.” Capturing the drama only love can bring, Concrete Temple Theatre’s world premiere unravels the knotty love story between a man in New England and the woman he left behind in Korea. Original composition, dance and visual theatre fuse in a bewitching landscape of dreams and desires, karaoke and kimchi, in the playful and profound odyssey of love, REMEMBERING EVANGELINE: 에반젤린을 회상하며.
REMEMBERING EVANGELINE: 에반젤린을 회상하며 was created in response to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem “Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie.” The play presents the perspectives of the play’s three characters: John, Eunji and Mariko (their daughter).
