Inspired by the Judgement of Solomon, Li Qianfu’s The Chalk Circle, and many more variations of the classic tale,
Legend of the Chalk Circle combines music, puppetry, comedy, and modern language to explore what it means to be a parent, and how can one truly matter in a war-torn world, when the world insists on doing what’s right, instead of what’s good.
CW: Mature language and themes, homophobia, assault, and comedic violence.
Recommended for ages 13+
