We’ll make you dance again!

An unstoppable, passionate performance to energize your life

I Don’t Want to Die, which has awakened the youth’s desperate zeal, will touch your hardened heart once again. In 2016, a seemingly somewhat strange performance quickly won the heart of the audience who kept chanting “Encore”. It filled the empty stage swept across by the dancers’ unstoppable energy. In 2018, the dancers are ready to rock you again with the new movements formed by exploring the deepest and farthest reaches of soul, and the new performers.

This is not just a story of adolescent frivolity. You, who have cringed while living in a city filled with fine dust, will definitely recover your long-forgotten passions by tapping your finger, nodding your head, and moving your body. “Do you want to die?” No, “I Don’t Want to Die!”

 

 

 

 

Unlike most works presented at National Theater Company of Korea, Dance Theater’s I Don’t Want to Die is a work that emphasizes body movement and dynamism to the maximum through dance. A primal urge to live, dance moves full of imagination and desire for life meet with the language of youth, to fill an empty stage with the unstoppable and passionate energy of the performers.
