The NTCK presents a series of one-act plays for young audiences!

Three playwrights have joined hands to create Tractor, a series of one-act plays for young audiences filled with the warmth of the early summer. Han Hyun-chu is the writer of the sold-out production A Boy Did It; Heo Seon-hye’s writing credits include Young-ji; and up-and-coming writer Na Su-min takes on the challenge of creating theater for young audiences from a new perspective. In Tractor, the three writers use the lively chemistry among themselves to portray characters engaging in the “tiki-taka” style exchanges, and exciting adventures unfolding in the unfathomable time-space that could be either real or imaginary. A seemingly nonchalant utterance brings profound consolation. The production will be livestreamed online for two days for all those in need of laughter and consolation but can’t visit the theater in person.

“I’m just here being nobody. That’s all.”

Sometimes, a simple statement gives us new strength. The assurance “It’s okay” is perhaps more powerful than anything else, as it helps us break free from the incessant spell of “I should have, or I shouldn’t have.” The play tells the story of the one who has undergone the same accident, and lost the body, and for whom the world has come to a halt. Even if our final effort should fall apart into pieces, they comfort us by saying that it’s okay and that we’ve done enough.

Writer Na Su-min

Na Su-min pays attention to people who are so preoccupied with something that they fall down and bump into things. What in the world is on their minds? She goes over there to see, and discovers stories—small, everyday life stories that nevertheless resonate with many. Then it’s her turn to fall down while observing them. And they get up and walk past her, preoccupied with something else. Then she goes after them again, and the cycle repeats itself.
