The Buddha My Body - A Palimpsest (Dance)

- Won Young-Oh

Palimpsest
The Buddha My Body - A Palimpsest investigates an eastern perspective on corporeal
memory - the body with memory and the body without memory.
The characters float within memory and wander through their daily lives, wafting in
and out between the two.
"My memories, her memories, mother's memories, and the
man’s memories, engaging with one another, trying to find the origin of existence. This
work is not a play of aesthetic exercises. It is an inquiry into what is forgotten in daily
life, of the things beyond existence. The dramatic text of the author Hyun-woo Kim
transforms into a spatial language of body and sound."
