Sijung Yoon

"Theatre gives us memories that last a lifetime." Director Sijung Yoon, who offers audiences new and unexpected theatrical experiences. The theatre of Hattanse is filled not with '**narratives**' but with a diverse range of '**languages**'. The process of making a performance becomes an act of creating language itself, as well as a form of **play**. His artistic practice lies in a collaborative process in which every participant contributes to bringing the work to life. By dissolving the boundaries between stage and auditorium, he invites audiences to experience the theatrical space through all five senses and discover the meaning of the story for themselves. Objects such as paper, wind, and sound merge with the performers' bodies, creating a sense of presence rooted in the 'here and now'. Humour, rhythm, and contemporaneity are the essential vocabularies that run through Hattanse's work. "The materials of the stage meet the memories of the audience, momentarily giving rise to an entirely new narrative."
