Magriet van Riesen voice
Kenzo Kusuda dancer
Words and Beyond: Hwang Jin-Yi is inspired by the life and poems of a very notable courtesan from ancient Korea.
A lower class woman, Hwang Jin-Yi worked her way into the world of aristocracy, literature and politics, developing into an enlightened thinker whose fame still appeals in 21st-century.
A singer, a dancer and four percussionists express Hwang Jin-Yi's transition, her inner conflict and feelings of despair. The performers act as slowly moving sculptures in a set that is designed as an art installation, with the audience surrounding them.
‘Intriguing Asian atmosphere and emotions very much in control'
