  • “On the stage, they free themselves of all social and systematic roles they had to play. And they stand complete in their bodies, which have been hidden and even denied themselves: the bodies that have clashed with sex and sexual intercourse that have been tabooed... (omitted) It is a declaration of their true selves and a pleasant moment of welcoming themselves to showing who they truly are. And most of all, it is an act of remembering and documenting themselves who were denied and forgotten in our systems and customs.”
    Lee Keyong-mi, Theater critic
  • “...Our social prejudice defines sex as an act only young adults are entitled to. Therefore, listening to seniors’ candid and confident confessions on their memories of sex and ongoing sexual activities themselves present us with thrilling experiences.”
    Nam Ji-su, Theater critic
