Musica ex Machina
Musica ex Machina
Musica ex Machina is an immersive sound performance in a documentary theatre format that weaves European early music, contemporary sounds, and delicate music-related discourse into a unified world. Bringing together early music instruments such as recorders and the theorbo with modular synthesizers and kinetic sound objects, three musicians create a small universe on stage. The performance unfolds through five structured scenes, including an interactive scene where the audience joins in the making of music, alongside four short documentary videos. Together, these elements invite audiences to rediscover the essential experience of “listening to sound.” The audience’s ears will lead them along an intimate journey, moving from near-silent whispers to overwhelming waves of sound that dominate the space. Along the way, they discover how even the most trivial sounds convey meaning. Through a complete immersion where every sense is awakened, participants are invited to experience fragmented sounds with ever-present individual textures-expanding into a rich, shared resonance, and ultimately discover the aesthetics of multifaceted harmony.

Sugungga: The Absurd Song of Underwater Power
IPKOASON
Sugungga—a contemporary reimagining of the classic pansori narrative is one of IPKOASON’s signature works. In this beloved tale, the ailing Dragon King seeks a rabbit’s liver to cure his illness. A turtle is dispatched to bring the unwitting donor to the Underwater Palace, but the clever rabbit ultimately escapes through wit and deception. Reconstructed through modern theatrical sensibility, the piece rearranges the power dynamics between the rabbit, the turtle, and the palace authorities with sharp satire and refined dramatic art forms. The work turns inherited form with contemporary presence by expanding pansori's traditional rhythms, melodies, and gestures into new stage vocabulary, IPKOASON’s precise musicality, fluid physicality, and meticulous direction revive the familiar folktale as a story that resonates strongly with present-day realities. Celebrated as “Sugungga for our time,” the piece stands as a compelling example of how traditional Korean performance can evolve within the landscape of contemporary theatre.

C'est pas là, c'est par là
GALMAE
Born from the bodily memory of a political demonstration in Seoul’s 2015, the piece follows a “political gathering”—the mass demonstrations that toppled a government. C'est pas là, c'est par là traces how a single body is unsettled by the presence of others and how a collective takes shape between them. It moves through the space between the individual and the crowd, testing what happens when one body becomes many. The piece begins with a stone—many stones tied to a tangle of string. Performers and participants move through this web together, brushing past one another, giving way, negotiating space, and settling into place. Eventually, the audience discovers what waits at the far end of the string: proof that something is created between bodies that no single body could produce alone. For GALMAE, the crowd is always greater than the sum of all the individuals within it.

Basic Dance: The Formula of Miracle
Choi x Kang Project
Basic Dance: The Formula of Miracle reveals what memories the body can summon when emotions are stripped away and nothing remains but the act of breathing. A body that deliberately blocks emotions and delays sensations starts to breathe. Through repetitive inhaling and exhaling, memories engraved in the muscles are stirred—specific emotions begin to resurface. Choi x Kang Project’s debut work Basic Dance (2015) examined how memories layered deep within the muscles lead the body toward particular emotional states. The latest incarnation, Basic Dance: The Formula of Miracle (2025), establishes and expands upon the relationship between breathing patterns and muscular sensations that evoke such universal human emotions as joy, sorrow, anger, and fear. Choi x Kang Project strips the body of overt emotion and movement and induces a state of emotional de-saturation through a breath-based trance. From this threshold, they enter the body anew—tracing the faint residue where emotion once passed. Here, memory does not surface all at once; it triggers other muscles in sequence, forming a chain of physical responses. The muscle memory activated by breathing irregularly summons fragments of personal narrative.

The Belt
Ambiguous Dance Company
Ambiguous Dance Company breaks boundaries with energy and instinct in their latest work. The belt distills distinct choreographic methods into their purest form. The piece delivers both immediate sensation and deep resonance on a stage driven by unpredictable motion with fluid, genre-defying movement, visceral energy, and a physicality that channels the full range of emotion. Through repetition and variation, each dancer follows their own rhythm and breathing, creating a constantly shifting landscape of movement through. The choreography follows instinct over explanation, and living energy over fixed form. The electronic soundscape breathes with the dancers, while the lighting, costumes, and space fuse to become part of the choreography itself. Premiered in the UK in 2024, The Belt received multiple five-star reviews from critics and was named a finalist in the performance category of the Offies—The Off West End Theatre Awards. Through its vibrant, unspoken language, The Belt draws the audience closer and reaches the senses before words can fully capture it. It expands the boundaries of contemporary dance, offering a form of movement that is immediate and open for everyone.

Time of Tree
Gray by Silver
Gray by Silver's third album, Time of Tree, takes nature, time, and the collective “us” within them as its subject. Rather than treating nature as an abstract or scenic backdrop, the group set out to encounter Korean ecosystems firsthand—accompanied by the photo, video, and sound artists who work alongside them and with gardener Daegil LEE serving as their guide. The ensemble relied on their observations and Lee’s curation, to shape the music in this work. This exploration and contemplation led to one guiding premise: nature as system—a vast structure in which coincidence and inevitability intersect endlessly, and life and death remain entangled. In Eastern thought, the word “nature” (자연, 自然) means “what is in its own way.” The system finds its voice in the green scent of the forest, the silver shimmer of waves woven by the sea and sun, birds announcing spring, and cicadas carrying the fullness of summer, even amid the dense urban forest of buildings. Wherever the listener may be, Gray by Silver hopes Time of Tree resonates with their being.
Gray by Silver
Um-Pah
AHA movement
Inspired by the idea of a “rest-deprived society,” Um-Pah explores the psychological pressure of contemporary life, where overwork is often worn as a badge of honor and people continuously push themselves beyond their limits. Longing for rest, yet burdened by guilt and anxiety, people today lose touch with the present and become trapped between past regrets and fears of the future. The central object of the work, a pair of stockings, physically constrains the body and distorts perception, symbolizing the invisible pressures that shape our daily lives. As the performer struggles within the tightening fabric, the movement reveals the tension between self-imposed expectations and the desire for liberation. The moment of breaking free from the stockings becomes an act of rebirth—a journey beyond the ego toward genuine rest. Through immersive sound, lighting, and the subtle scent of flowers released into the theater, Um-Pah invites audiences into a multi-sensory experience of presence. Rather than defining rest as simply stopping, the work proposes that true rest begins with fully inhabiting the present moment.

Meta-Ballet: Improvisation, Crumpled Attitude
Ttunchatdance
Meta Ballet: Improvisation, Crumpled Attitude investigates the impulses of movement generated by ballerinas as a self-determining body. Does a dance born from a body shaped by ballet come to wander within ballet’s traditional boundaries or beyond them? The work reveals when the sense of classical ballet crumples by tracing the collision of ballet’s strict discipline with the impulse of improvisation. Ballet’s quintessential “attitude” is reconsidered from within. The piece further transcends Western-centric ballet discourse by inviting a renewed understanding of ballet through the bodies and voices of Korean ballerinas, here and now.

Iseul Kim’s Two Voices
Iseul Music (Iseul Kim)
This showcase presents selected works from Two Voices, an ensemble project initiated by composer and pianist Iseul KIM in 2017. Bringing together Korean traditional and Western instruments—including haegeum, daegeum, 25-string gayageum, piano, and improvising musicians—the project creates an organic musical vocabulary where composition and improvisation coexist. Each performer plays an essential role in shaping the music through attentive listening and interaction. The program explores themes of memory, displacement, and resilience through works drawn from Kim’s personal experiences. The Stranger (띄어쓰기) reflects on the sense of longing and alienation that accompanies life between cultures. Motel Surim, featuring gayageum performer PARK Soon-Ah, is based on the story of the composer’s birth and transforms memories of inherited trauma into a deeply personal musical narrative. Yeon, inspired by the Buddhist phrase Cheoyeomsangjeong(remaining pure amidst adversity), contemplates how to preserve one's true nature during life's hardships. Through the interplay of diverse instrumental voices, Two Voices invites audiences to encounter individual stories as shared experiences of empathy, healing, and connection.
