Experience the legacy of Jeju Island's Haenyeo women divers in Haenyeo: Women of the Sea. This touching tale follows a determined grandmother's quest to teach her granddaughter to dive - yet the girl will not listen to the call of the sea. A chance encounter with a turtle and ocean treasure shines a light on the diver's legacy and a tradition that is dying out after 600 years. This is an intimate and immersive theatre performance narrated by mother and daughter that blends Korean music, puppetry, and crochet. It is perfectly suited for families with children.
