Yohangza Theatre Company
|
Jung-Ung Yang founded the Yohangza Theatre Company in 1997. He rose to critical fame with The Chairs in 2001 in which emphasis was placed on restrained use of language and images. His aesthetic philosophy has been the creation of images that are produced through harmony among the lighting, sound and bodily movements. He has expanded the horizon of dramatic language with his exceptional directorship that relies on harmonizing Eastern philosophy with the aesthetics of images and space. He received the Grand Prix for Karma (2003) at the 15th Cairo International Experimental Drama Festival. In 2006, the company was the first Korean company to perform at the Barbican in London. A Midsummer Night s Dream went on to receive the Grand Prix and Audience Award at the 10th Gdansk Shakespeare Festival. As a director, he has been exploring new genres with the drama Peer Gynt, operas Woyzeck and Chunsaengyonbun and the ballet musical Shimchung.
