[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The theater company Cho-in will perform the play "Train," which was showcased at the Avignon Festival in France and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the UK, from the 22nd to the 27th at the Jayu Theater in Daehakro.


"Train" is a mime play first performed by theater company Cho-in in 2002. It won the Gold Prize at the 2004 Geochang International Theater Festival and participated in the 2005-2006 Avignon Festival in France and the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the UK.


"Train" is an energetic performance that includes dance, acrobatics, and magic, telling the story of the friendship between a young sibling beggar duo abandoned on the battlefield and a wandering magician couple. The magician couple appears so simple-minded as to seem foolish, and they experience cheerful incidents with the sibling beggars in a city devastated by war. The siblings and the magician couple bring warmth to each other before parting ways.



The theater company described "Train" as a fairy tale-like play for adults, a work that allows audiences to feel warmth piercing through the harsh realities left by war.
