"Tiger and the Dried Persimmon" by Thistle Theatre

Thistle Theatre Presents: Tiger and the Dried Persimmon

A young tiger, thinking he is the fiercest in all Korea, ventures down a mountainside in search of food. The tiger finds a house where he overhears a mother trying to coax her child to stop crying. Hush now, if you don't stop crying, she pauses to think of something frightening, the tiger outside will eat you! The tiger is certain the child will stop crying when she hears that a fierce tiger is outside. To his amazement she keeps crying. Then the mother says, Hush now, lookhere comes a kotgam. Suddenly the child stops crying. Misunderstanding, the tiger thinks this kotgam must be a very frightening creature if it can stop a child from crying. The tiger has no idea that the kotgam is dried persimmon, which is a kind of fruit. He frightens himself imagining how this horrible kotgam creature must look. Afraid the kotgam will find him, the tiger hides in the barn where a superstitious thief is hiding and the misunderstandings continue!

This story is performed with tabletop Bunraku, rod and shadow puppets designed by Brian Kooser. Set design by Jean Enticknap and painted by Allyn Baehr. Cultural advisors for project Hyeon-soog Chang and Andrew Kim.
