Synopsis

[Performance Introduction] A Journey Beyond Memory to Peace <The Sound of the Red Organ> is not merely a compilation of historical facts. The memory of the immense violence faced by a nine-year-old girl over seventy years ago comes to us as the confession of an eighty-year-old woman. This performance does not stop at shedding light on an individual's pain; by 'remembering' that pain together, it seeks to instill in the audience's hearts the 'necessity of peace'—that such tragedies must never be repeated. It sends the knots of time, unspeakable in words, carried on the breath of the accordion. [Synopsis] When a Mother's Time Becomes Music o Witness to the Passage of Time: The nine-year-old child, swept up in the vortex of the April 3rd Incident without knowing why, has now become a white-haired old woman. o Unheard Song: Stories buried deep in the heart for decades, which could not be brought out, cautiously flow out on the melody of the accordion. Reconciliation and Healing: The protagonist calmly reflects on her mother's life and speaks of how that history of hardship is not merely a 'past event,' but the root of 'peace' that we must cherish and protect today.
