They Were Three!
They Were Three!, which was first performed in 2006 in Japan, will be performed with a Korean cast. This work is based on the motifs of Moto Hagio’s popular They Were Eleven!, a comic which has been translated into Korean. It deals with the collapse, reconstruction, projection, and fixation of identity between three different people. This almost philosophical theme is presented in a comedic manner. Last year it was translated and performed overseas for the first time, and this will be its second performance. The first performance was well-received, and was reported in the Korean Theatre Review. Its revival after only a year speaks to its popularity in Seoul.
