Opening Ceremony & Conversation

The truth has always been sealed away behind the curtain of the system. Under the veil of the taboo, concealed histories, dismantled lives, collapsed individuals and marginalized bodies have remained silent. This truth drifts as transparent violence that never materialized. Here, two writers, dedicated to reaching that intangible truth have come together to unravel the art of language. Masters of their craft, they pursue the shadows and silhouettes of those sad emotions that have existed in this world but never been seen in order to name that truth. ‘How can humans define the tragedies of the 20th century?’ These writers have asked themselves this question all their lives, now place this query in our hands. A quarter of the 21st century has gone by, yet this question remains unanswered and is deepening all the time. Their works, which aim to say what has been left unsaid, are at once a rite and an incantation to call upon those who have been forgotten. Follow in their footsteps toward a world that lies beyond what meets the eye. • Performer: Chudahye • Languages: Korean, English, Chinese
