1. Pimalion
This was performed at Korea Mime, 2003, Performance art festival, 2005, and Chango theater Momjiggon at Samilo April, 2008. This story is adapted from "Pigmalion" in Greek mythology. The features of this performance are organizing of the actors' fast movement, the angle of the camera as in a movie, and maximization of the actors' action just like in a silent film in 1920s'. It can be seen in chasing and fighting scenes between actors.

B-movie scenario writer K, who couldn't afford even his meal, was working so hard in his back-rent room. He got pressed from a filmmaker and driven in a corner. One day, he was inspired by a woman and happened to love her......

2. Suburban residents
This is about the problem of the aged. We live in a world where old things are thought as useless. Old people are getting neglected by those who judge many things on the basis of marketability.
There shows a pile of boxes as a symbol of the aged who are neglected and incompetent, and smell. This is not serious even though the aged live in the boxes and give us the chance to think about ourselves. That is because the situations which the aged make are absurd. The gesture and imagination of this performance give us strong impression over the heavy topic.

3. "play-back"

Playback is an original form of improvisational play in which audience or group members tell stories from their lives and watch them enacted on the spot.
Actors's acting and musicians' play are only improvisational.
This improvisation make audiences concentrate better.
