The Charles B. Wang Center is pleased to present an original shadow puppet performance in conjunction with their current  textile exhibition Through the Light: Contemporary Jogakbo by Wonju Seo.

Caroline Borderies (puppeteer), Madeleine Borderies (puppeteer), Andre Bregegere (music & sounds), and Tessa Souter (narrator) bring to life a shadow puppet show featuring spare, intricate illustrations and lighting palettes that shift from black and white to riotous color. Through the stories of four generations of Korean women, the cultural richness of jogakbo—from its meticulous patchwork to its symbolic meanings of prosperity, happiness, and longevity—comes alive. With humor and heart, the show celebrates the artistry and eco-conscious elegance of this enduring tradition. Each 30-minute performance will be followed by a behind-the-scenes tour with the artists.
