The world does its best to break everyone and everything, but afterwards, most things are stronger in the broken places.
The King of Broken Things is an adventurous and magical excursion into the rehabilitation of broken and discarded objects, hearts included. Touching on ancient Japanese traditions, mythology, and the power of dreams, the show serves as a poignant reminder of the magic that is everywhere.
