A Forbidden Act
Movement Dang-Dang (South Korea) & Min-Jung Kim (South Korea)
Suicide on stage. In the classical tragedies Medea and Antigone take their own life. In Forbidden Act the South Korean company Movement Dang-Dang puts thirteen performers on stage in the last hour before they commit suicide. What's going on in their head ? Why do they commit this desperate act ? Which actions do they still undertake in the last hour of their life ? Set up as a sort of block of flats of two floors so that you can look into each mini- apartment the actors tell their story. Time is ticking away but you don't get to see the ultimate act in this play. Director Kim Min Jung is not after sensation or shock but she wants to give us an insight into the complex psyche of her Korean compatriots, a culture that is very different from ours.
