LIKE THOUSANDS OF KOREAN WOMEN, YOUNG MINJA MUST SURVIVE THE UNIMAGINABLE
In South Korea, young Minja lives a sheltered life in her remote village, unaware of the ongoing world war. Until one encounter changes everything: kidnapped by the Japanese Army, Minja must hold on to her fierce will to survive in the face of the unimaginable.
The Comfort Woman is a powerful and heart-wrenching portrayal of one woman’s courage, built from thousands of real women’s stories. It’s a tribute to the countless women who endured similar fates during one of history’s darkest periods, and a testament to the resilient human spirit. This “breathtaking” (Everything Theatre) performance will open your eyes and remind you of the power of survival.
Minja’s story returns to London, fresh from 5-star reviews in 2024, now accompanied by a live performer playing the Gayageum – a traditional Korean instrument rarely heard in the UK. Combining raw, compelling storytelling with live music, this is a unique opportunity to delve into Korean history and heritage.
