Legs On The Wall & AsiaNow - The Tale of Samulnori Development 1

The Tale of Samulnori tells the story of Bright Land, a peaceful place that is sent into turmoil with the arrival of a dark cloud of pollution, bringing confusion and despair to the people. The Leader of Bright Land appeals to the gods who tell him to send his four children to the corners of the earth. Once there, they must convince the guardian of each corner to hand over a treasure they possess -- a rare and precious musical instrument. If these can be retrieved and played together, harmony and understanding will be restored.
Collaboration is at the heart of this production and runs through every element of it -- in the music by the band Daorum, an ensemble of musicians from Korea and Australia; in the company of performers, made up of three performers from Legs On The Wall and two performers from AsiaNow and in the creative team which also comprises artists from Australia and Korea.
