Performance Detail

In 2016, the title of this piece was “Theatre Lab Hyehwa-dong 1,” the name of the venue where it was premiered. At that time, the stage became the garret where the actress Iri lived. Iri was living there alone, and she kept murmuring about the unstable life and poverty of an actress. In about one year since then, she moved twice with her suitcase. She has always been carrying her luggage so that she can travel anytime, looking for her place and stage, and she finally reaches the kawamata Hall of BankART Studio NYK in Yokohama. She goes on the stage alone. Doing everything from acting and technical operation to self-promotion, she speaks about her life again there.
