Tiger is Coming: Dolpagu

South Korea’s award-winning theatre company Dolpagu presents the UK Premiere of XXL Leotard and Anna Sui Hand Mirror, a groundbreaking theatre production exploring gender and social class across generations. 

Junho must keep his secret – he likes to wear women’s leotards. Wearing them stops him stressing about his upcoming college entrance exam. Hee-joo finds out his secret and posts a photo of Junho in a leotard for all the school to see. Now they have been paired in their school P.E. dance evaluation and, to pass the test, must find a way to work together.

Performed in Dolpagu’s signature style blending movement and performance, this is a heartfelt and joyous story about adapting to the changing world, and learning that not everyone is the same.
