Performance Info

〈Blackout〉 is a play about the gap between daily life and drama. The darkness of life between the stories of the crossed characters is the image of this piece. Ji-hye Lee is a non-regular worker who is overwhelmed by anxiety and often comforts herself with luxury bags. Min is an unknown actor who fights against 'non-self.' H, a veteran who faced many deaths in war, recalls the appearance of his daughter who was forced by Ji-hye Lee to commit suicide. Meanwhile, a homeless man wanders around the theater lobby. They go back and forth between the theater and the lobby, their homes, and tangle with their desires.

This is a play written by the International Residency of the Royal Court Theater in the UK in 2010. At the time, It was acclaimed thanks to its in-depth portrayal of the characters, beautiful language and use of very dramatic yet unfamiliar images. And 〈Blackout〉, which was premiered in 2018, utilizes a variety of imaging equipment to trace the inner world through each person’s intangible darkness. We face 'ourselves' in someone’s face filling the screen and face 'our world' in the screen full of various gestures.​

    Theatre Company DO was founded to discover a more authentic and unique theater language. The theater tries to connect the scenes of contemporary reality and the unreal scenes of plays and sew them again. Imagination is our power to empathize with others. For us, the body and language mediate the essence of this age and the nature of the theater. So contemporary life leads to the 'unreal scenes' of the theater, and we want to learn a little more about how to live in this age. Our masterpieces are 〈Sad Beast〉, 〈Floating Land〉, 〈Keep It It It In the Closet〉 and 〈Almost Electra〉.
