Introduction to the work

Modern Experimentation with Yeonhee, a form of traditional Korean performing arts, through Deconstruction and Reconstruction
As an extension of Liquid Sound’s first Yeonhee deconstruction project, <KIN :>, this performance focuses on the deconstruction and reconstruction of traditional Yeonhee. It breaks down the distinctive movements and lively spirit of traditional Yeonhee, applying variations to movements and moods centered on playful elements from Nongak, such as Dangsan Beollim and Seoljanggu. The title combines the words “Off” (to detach) and “On” (to attach), encapsulating the concept of breaking away from old customs and attaching to new artistic expressions. It also implies the separation and reattachment of various materials. Based on the deconstruction of the body and performance props, various elements of traditional Yeonhee—such as timing, rhythm, body movements, tools, and instruments—are broken down and reassembled in diverse ways to create dynamic, transformative energy. Thus, <OffOn Yeonhee Project II> uncovers the fundamental nature and interrelations of the elements comprising Yeonhee, seeking to reflect on the very essence of Yeonhee that remains after all deconstructible elements have been dismantled.

LIQUID SOUND

Liquid Sound, founded in 2015, is a collective that fosters interdisciplinary exchange rooted in Korean traditional arts. Rather than simply preserving or transforming traditional arts, they seek to discover the potential for tradition to grow and thrive as an expanded artistic field.
The collective collaborates with artists from various fields—including contemporary dancers, traditional performers, computer musicians, directors, and stage designers—who interpret shared themes through diverse perspectives. By exploring uncommon subjects such as human relationships and tactile imagery, Liquid Sound stimulates artistic imagination and engages in collaborative creation aimed at discovering intersections across artistic disciplines.
They have been active both in Korea and Europe through close collaborations with the French ensemble Ensemble Passage and the German theater company Baal NOVO. Their activities include an official invited performance commemorating the 130th anniversary of Korea-France diplomatic relations, participation in a residency at the Baal NOVO Theater in Germany, the JOURNEY TO KOREAN MUSIC project hosted by the Korea Arts Management Service, and the “Korean Traditional Music Meets Baroque: Cathedral Tour in France” performance.

Review
  • " By observing the performers’ movements from various angles, the audience was able to vividly experience the deconstruction of both the body and performance objects."
