| Description |
At turns sombre and amusing, this poignant one-man (and multiple-rice-cooker) show is Jaha Koo’s bittersweet reflection on the personal and social impact of economic crises that South Korea has weathered in recent decades. Endemic issues such as unemployment, economic inequality, social withdrawal, rising suicide rates, and a fixation on physical appearance, are a few of the symptoms of deep unease that Jaha Koo observes within South Korean society. Cuckoo is a thought-provoking performance that will give you a renewed perspective on the socioeconomic status quo in South Korea. |
