JELLY FISH

About the show

Jellyfish is a contemporary play by British playwright Ben Weatherill that explores love, independence, disability, and the right to make one's own choices. First staged at London's Bush Theatre in 2018, the play challenges social prejudices surrounding disability through a warm, humorous, and emotionally complex story. The Korean production, directed by Saerom Min and produced by the Korea Disability Arts & Culture Center and Creative Table Seokyoung, brings the story to the stage through an inclusive approach to theatre-making. Featuring performers with and without disabilities, the production incorporates accessible performance practices and collaborative methods that reflect the play's central themes. Rather than portraying disability as something to overcome, Jellyfish presents its characters as individuals with their own desires, vulnerabilities, and contradictions. Through its exploration of family relationships, romantic love, and personal autonomy, the play raises questions about protection, prejudice, and the freedom to determine one's own future.
