Festival theatre studio, Edinburgh
Jaha Koo cooks up street-food treats for two lucky theatregoers as he reflects on how food preserves memory and cultural identity, with the help of a snail and an eel
To get the measure of this slight but sweet one-man show, you need to listen to the singing snail. “In every soil grows a different version of you,” sings the animated creature in Korean, projected on a screen.
It is echoing the sentiment just expressed by an eel: “My home has no location,” sings a fish that lives a life of transformation as it moves between saltwater and fresh.
