Synopsis
[Performance Introduction] Burying, taking out, burying again, and finally breathing out Kim Hye-kyung, a "living flame" radiating an explosive presence, uses the language of the body to bring back memories of death she encountered closest during her childhood in her first new work in seven years. The touch of hands moving a dead cat to create a small grave—that choice, in which the body reacted before understanding—was a form of mourning she had never learned from anyone. In this work, which serves as a response to Ahn Eun-mi’s "Grave Series (1998)" and a declaration of her establishment as an artist, the "grave" is not a place but an act and a state. Amidst the repetition of burying, taking out, and covering again, memories do not disappear but accumulate within the body. A giant cat stands in the center of the stage, and layers of memory unfold within it. The dancer's body passes through the textures of sensations that do not easily vanish within, continuing the struggle to live out life even after facing terror. Personal memories gradually spread to the sensations of others, and the stage breathes like a living grave. Finally, the audience reaches a sense that does not easily fade—the sense of residue that what has disappeared still remains with me.
