greenpig
greenpig’s play <Tree Won’t Seek for Shoe Store> contrasts the development of civilization and the paradox of humans to <Tree> by the poet Yoon Yeongsyn. Various episodes briefly intersect over Yoon’s poetic and melancholic languages, narrating “a fable no one has heard of”, brought into the world from greenpig’s perspective.
Synopsis
Starting with a 7-page long draft by Yoon Youngsun, the play was further developed and reshaped by the greenpig actors, director Yoon Hansol and co-creator Jeon Seonghyun. The motifs of the play come from fairy tales, myths, classics and imaginations. Four episodes intersect in the play: <Monkey Flower Shoes> based on a children’s story by Jeong Hwichang at the core of the play; <Fetal Chatting> on bipedalism and the origin of pain; <Contract> on a negotiation between a fetus and its mother; and <Tree Won’t Seek for Shoe Store> on a father’s death and human integrity. On the stage is a mountain of waste made of scrap fabrics from a sewing factory, creating a grotesque atmosphere and signifying the end of humanity. In particular, the image of “a fetus that would not hope to be born” makes one imagine an extremely realistic dystopia.
Although greenpig’s works may seem micro-historical, they narrate the other aspects of the world at the same time. Climate change has become more relevant compared to 10 years ago when the play was first performed. The play sheds light on where our civilization stands, while identifying the direction humanity must take in the period of crisis.
Directed by Yoon Han-sol
With the conviction that only art can portray the world accurately, Yoon Han-sol refuses to talk about dream and hope on the stage. Rather, he seeks to offer a new perspective on the opposite sides of the time on the stage to take a step closer to the essence.
