Yangson Project is a collaboration between actors Sang-kyu Son, Jo-ah Yangand Jong-ook Yang and director Ji-hye Park. A playful, charming and beautifully crafted dance-theatre production created by one of the rising stars of South Korea's theatre scene. Ok-soon is a young factory girl working in a Japanese owned factory during the Korean industrial boom of the 1930s. Subjected to harsh working conditions Ok-soon struggles to find her place in the world, but following the unfair dismissal of her oldest friend she decides the time has come to find her voice. Based on a short story written by YU, Jin-oh, the original text was published serially in a daily newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo, in 1931. Combining text, movement and sound, an ensemble cast of four performers bring the words to life.
