The Cliff- the roof. The crazy world where a blind man leads people. The scene on the roof of the building, which was choreographed by Aditep along with Jayoung, is vey symbolic and poetic. It reflects metaphorically the political situation of Korea.
​
Sweet words-studio. The words which was spouted off from daughters of King Lear, are overlapped with the words of president candidates. People knows their words are void promises, trickery, but they choose them as presidents.
People = Lear. Simple equation.
​
Mirror-out door theatre. What is swear? King Lear curse his daughters. Performers are translating swear of Lear to modern daily words. The audiences experience catharsis through action of swearing. It reveals abhorrence, discordance between the young and old, men and women, left and right, the poor and rich.
​
Unfair death-gate ball ground. About young students who died in the accident of Sewol ferry in 2014. Who are responsible for those death? They are rapping while the ship sinking. How absurd the world is.
​
Emptiness-under the tree. Life is empty.
This is collages of the images, stories, voices and movements which are from reflections of our sad time. Each performer should look into our world through the frame of King Lear. On the base of key words they choose such as swear, unfair death, cliff, crazy man, etc. they create their own script, choreography and movements. This is about the dark and sad sides of our lives. All the elements are constructed over the specific spaces they select.
