In his performance, Cuckoo<\/em>, young South Korean artist Jaha Koo gives a touching reading on the tragedy of a lonely life in a fully technologized society. A journey through the last 20 years of Korean history told by a bunch of talkative rice cookers. One day when his electric rice cooker informed him that his meal was ready, Jaha Koo experienced a deep sense of isolation. \u2018Golibmuwon\u2019 (\uace0\ub9bd\ubb34\uc6d0) is an untranslatable Korean word expressing the feeling of helpless isolation that characterizes the lives of many young people in Korea today. Twenty years ago there was a major economic crisis in South-Korea, comparable to the financial crash in the United States and Southern Europe in 2008. This crisis had a huge impact on the young generation to which South Korean artist Jaha Koo belongs. He witnessed many endemic problems including youth unemployment and socio-economic inequality. Rising suicide rates, isolation, acute social withdrawal and a fixation on personal appearance are but a few of the symptoms. In bittersweet and humorous dialogues, Jaha and his clever rice cookers take you on a journey through the last 20 years of Korean history, combining personal experience with political events and reflections on happiness, economic crises and death.<\/p>\n \u00abJaha Koo, who now lives between Belgium and the Netherlands, has created a work that captures his native culture astutely \u2013 the work is intrinsically Korean \u2013 but which also has a modern European style and sensitivity, and sits very well into the body of Flemish new theatre work that explores the possibilities of the performance-lecture. A week later, I\u2019m still haunted by the show\u2019s sounds and images.\u00a0Food for thought indeed.\u00bb (Totaltheatre.org.uk).<\/p>\n SAB 05.10.2019 | 19.00<\/strong> after-show meeting with the audience, CUCKOO JAHA KOO (KR\/BE) In his performance, Cuckoo, young South Korean artist Jaha Koo gives a touching reading on the tragedy of a lonely life in a fully technologized society.
