Choreographer Ahn Eun-me has portrayed the history of the bodies of our grandmothers’ and mothers’ generations since 2010,
starting from the piece “Dance to My Ancestors,”
with her unique flair and sense of humor.
The bodies embracing a range of generations, including men, adolescents, persons with disabilities, and Asian millennials
and children, have formed a huge river, expanding their history.
Choreographer Ahn, who examines the era and people, now turns her gaze to the “new women” who live in Korea’s modern and contemporary era.
Korea’s modern and contemporary era,
looking through the lens of the term “woman”
During the Port-Opening Period,
we had to go through a painful time of Japanese occupation,
and some women were deprived of their country.
They did not go by their names, got married at an early age because of such custom, or became widows with children in their late teens at times.
Ahn intends to invite us to listen to the voices of the women who lived and faded into history at the time.
They may seem to have adorned an era splendidly under the guise of a “new woman” or a “modern girl,”
but they lived fiercely more than anyone else. These were “new women” who cried, “Allow us to have a dance hall in Seoul,”
while some were deceived by love or begged for money. Some romanticists claimed love was infinite,
and others lived up to their names, even though they had none.
Yojaya Yojaya reflects various aspects of the lives of the “new women” who struggled to lead their lives ahead of us
while getting frustrated by the walls of the times. Multiple audiovisual elements,
such as bobbed hairstyles, accessories and costumes in harmony with diverse dance movements, as well as buzzwords or neologisms of those days,
keeping pace with social and cultural changes, bring the stage to life.
This production is set to showcase a spectrum of dance performances,
including an epic drama, illuminating how the fragments they left behind have been passed down to this day.
