Synopsis
In between scenes of a play with ordinary conversations there are times when poetry gets placed. Plays that have this disparate moment all of the sudden in the overall rhythm. At times, poetry is replaced with movement, lights, sound or even silence. In place of a poem some poetic invasions break into the stage and disturb the audience immersing in the story. When this poetic element unexpectedly happens, rather than rational eyes to examine the context of the story and make assessment of understanding, sensuous eyes to feel and perceive wholly are necessary. The «Poetic Theatre» is intending to become an installation theatre. It is gladly willing to be placed at a site of historical memories, in the middle of a busy city, at a square where diverse people come and go, and also a field of a secluded countryside village.

About company
Poetic Studio is a creative group composed of stage artists Shin Seung-lyeol and Kim Hye-rim, a composer and new media artist, Park Seung-soon, a sound designer, Bailey Hong, a dramaturg, Jeon Kang-hee, and a producer, Sophie Hyeyeon Kim, exploring dramatic language focused on ’stage and music/ sound’. They’re building a ’space of imagination/liberation’ in the form of an installation theater, able to face poetic moments even in a standardized life.

Since the start of creation for Poetic Theatre supported by Wooran Foundation, Poetic Studio is trying to capturing poetic moments in ordinary life. Also, Poetic Studio presents their works constantly such as Wind, Sense of Position, and On the Move.
