Here comes Yeong ji!
The ‘weird kid’ who draws a lot of cabbages instead of a landscape in art class returns after three years.
She brings excitement into everyone’s daily life. Neither people calling her a witch nor disapproval from the neighborhood can stop her.
If you have a strange world that you’d like to share, let us jump into yeongji’s room.
★★★★★
Director Kim Mi Ran, the winner of the 2022 Baeksang Arts Award for Young Theatre, once again joins hands with Heo Seon hye, a playwright who constantly explores youth, to bring yeongji back to stage. Full of heterogeneous and unfamiliar stories, yeongji in 2023 asks the audience facing Byeongmokan some fundamental questions: Are the rules and order of this world a matter of course?
Is there another world out there? All the children and grown-ups looking for answers to these questions are invited to yeongji’s room.
“Would you like to come to my house tomorrow?”
SYNOPSIS
Hailed as ‘the cleanest town’, Byeongmokan is a place of perfection. One day, a strange kid named yeongji arrives.
“My name is yeongji. I have a bird’s head, a human body, and frog legs. I have wings and a tail. I will be difference tomorrow and then again, the day after.”
Hyojeong, the town’s mascot, and Sohui, a model student, became fascinated by yeongji’s strange games and stories. Soon, cracks begin to emerge in their seemingly perfect world.
Written by Heo Seon-hye
Playwright Heo Seon-hye likes to reveal to the world little things and things that are not easily noticed.
She enjoys puncturing reality or folding a corner of reality, and rewrites the fictional world.
