Introduction 

The Corporal Theater Momggol embodies the gems of physical theater on the stage.
The Corporal Theater Momggol displays a cognitive performance of burning silence, glittering body and the filling and emptying of the mind. 

Pure energy is spread across the stage


This performance displays the hardships of the Korean people during the 1970’s.  The handcart signifies the sweat and tears shed by the poor during these difficult times.  The combination of the hand cart and the realistic acting of the performers on the poor stage allow the audience to reflect on this difficult period in Korean history. 

We load the memories of hope and despair in the rickety hand cart.

This performance is made up of four distinctive chapters.  The first chapter is about moving, and shows common people hauling their belongings and personal possessions from place to place.  The second chapter focuses around the theme of poor love.  Despite the fatigue and struggles of the poor, their love for one another continues to be strong.  The poor love warms the hearts of these people.  The third chapter displays periods of strife and shows the true value and meaning of labor through the actions and tongues of the actors.  The final chapter is the festival, which never allows despair to overcome hope.  The festival enables the actors to overcome rejection by giving them strength and allows them to achieve reconciliation.

Actor’s and alive objects! Mom Gol, motive of never ending self-reflection.

"Our work is recalling the outcasted art that we have abandoned,

Our work, is enduring the risk which collapsed the border between intellect and intuition with the perspective of physical and aesthetic qualities.

These all come from the expansion of the body and will be met where the actors breath reaches."



The poor reminisce about times of innocence. 
In this performance the handcart is the image which represents poverty.  Through the shifting equilibrium and balance of the cart the performance displays dramatic movements and the transformation of images. This performance uses a minimal amount of props. The stage is filled with nothing but the actors white passion, burning silence and glaring eyes which glimmer with life. They perpetually dream and think with their bodies.  The poverty which kept us in the present has vanished and passed us by.  This performance makes us reminisce about these times of poverty.
