REIGNING –  Behind the Scenes, 2022

” 2022 Seoul Cultural Foundation – Support Selection”

” 2020 Performing Arts Creation Center – New Work of the Year Selection”

– A story of the dominions in the society we live in. Those who must protect themselves to avoid getting hurt, and those who dominate, rule, trample, and disrespect. What should we protect ourselves from?

The dominions behind those who say they protect us. Those who wrap themselves in a thick protective shield. In a society where the devices of protection and dominion change their appearances, how will I be remembered?

– Review Review –

” The new perspective structure that allows you to look up from the ‘audience’ on the stage to the high place on the second floor of the (original) auditorium is a part that clearly reveals the choreographer’s intention to implement culture through performance along with freshness. “

” This work is interesting in that it attempts to show the aesthetics of existence through the performativity of space. “

” The audience will remember this work as a serious and meticulously structured performance in many structural aspects, such as changing positions on the stage. “
