Review of 2nd performance, 'Phase Lapse'
What I mostly liked about the play was the ‘simple’. Compare to our performance it had significantly different style and atmosphere which is simple but huge effect with only performer, sound and video. Furthermore, as a Korean, it was kind of a new experience of seeing Korean traditional performance. I used to love traditional plays and they were all performed by Koreans (Obviously) but in this case, it was sort of untraditional but kept the Korean play’s atmosphere effectively. Especially in the beginning, when the performer started with an old Korean poem which is very sad, I nearly cried. She understood what they meant, expressed the grace of moderated and profound Korean poems very well. On the other hand, they concentrated too much on the only simple effect. The lighting was too simple, so not enough bright to see what performer is doing in the end, and didn’t have strong effect when they reached the climax; it had quite loud and effective sounds that the show had a climax but couldn’t see what is happening there properly. In overall, I believe that it was successful and due to the good team work, they showed that what they wanted the most. Well done!
