Summerhall Arts, Edinburgh Fringe 2026
PART CEILIDH, PART STORYTELLING, AND A GOOD NIGHT OUT.
Tether 인연 is a bold new production originally made in collaboration between Scotland’s Wonder Fools and South Korea’s Theatre SAN.
Spanning sixty years and three generations, the piece weaves folk songs, love letters and war stories into a shared experience of music and memory.
Beginning as a joyous communal gathering, it gradually reveals an intimate love story shaped by migration, oppression and time. Playful, powerful and deeply human, Tether 인연 invites audiences to collectively dance, laugh, listen and remember – tracing the invisible threads that bind two nations together.
