An interdisciplinary theatre production that reimagines a Korean folktale through the lens of cancel culture, restorative justice, and the Me Too movement. Blending physical theatre, shamanistic ritual, and digital storytelling, the piece unfolds across Korea, the UK, and the US, tracing two sisters as they confront the fallout of their father’s public disgrace.

Rooted in Korean traditions and Confucian-era narratives, the performance explores how shame, power, and morality pass through generations—sometimes inherited, sometimes imposed. As ancestral stories collide with contemporary reckonings, Cancelling Tiger asks: who has the authority to condemn, and who has the right to forgive?

Combining movement, sonic scape, and multilingual storytelling, Kassna Kollektiv creates a rich, immersive experience that invites audiences into a space of reckoning and ritual. It would be a performance that you have not seen before it’s a haunting and hopeful journey toward accountability, healing, and cultural reclamation.
