I’ll be back in the morning
Written and performed by Ludo & Jake
I’ll be back in the morning is based on a certainty. We will leave, and we will be back. It is a 20 minute attempt to reverse the expectations we built in I.D.S.T.: about never leaving, keeping here, evolving within a set of rules tied to the space and to us as a duo.
There are still rules. They aren’t shared or born from common experience. They are circumstances. New Landscapes. The ladder is still here. The ladder will behave differently too. Perhaps she might even intervene if things get out of control. She is the real star, after all.
Running Time: approx 20 mins
JUST EAT IT
Created by Anna Kopacek
They eat and eat – reviewing the food, mocking its labels, and interrogating the absurd expectations placed on bodies, especially femme bodies. As the performance escalates, the clowns are faced with two options: to purge what they’ve taken in, or to hold it all inside. The piece is a bold blend of clown, physical theatre, and social commentary. It’s funny, disturbing, and intimate.. We want to create a show that balances play and discomfort, using laughter as a tool to access deeper emotional truths and spark meaningful conversations.
Running Time: approx 15 mins
ABCDEFG: Want, Need, Hate
A solo performance by Seahoon Kim
Japan has never had a citizen-led revolution.
Britain hasn’t either.
Korea has had six in just the past hundred years.
Some say Koreans are aggressive, blunt, fiery, impatient, even rude.
Why do Koreans always want so much, need so deeply, hate so hard?
Tonight, a rude Korean stands before you.
And asks you —
How are you?
Running Time: approx 25 mins
