Director Yoon Si-Joong

"Theatre gives audiences a memory they will carry for the rest of their lives."

Haddangse's theatre is filled not with 'narrative' but with a variety of 'languages'. 

The process of making a performance becomes a process of building language — and a kind of play in itself.

His work is found in a process that every participant completes together. He lowers the barrier between stage and audience, guiding spectators to experience the space where the play unfolds through all five senses and discover the meaning of the story for themselves. Objects such as paper, wind, and sound combine with the actors' bodies to create a presence of 'here and now'. Humor, rhythm, and contemporaneity are the core vocabulary running through Haddangse's stage.

"The materials of the stage meet the audience's memory, and in that instant, a new narrative is born."
