“You thought I’d remain ignorant.”
Those who are deprived of freedom begin to raise their voices. Director Jahye Khoo’s latest work Roadkill in the Theater takes a courageous step towards delving into the other side of deaths of animals caused by human greed. There is no room for sloppy sentimentalism in the final moments of these animals conveyed with calmness. Here, ‘in the theater,’ audiences are invited to dream of small yet concrete changes.
Written and directed by Jahye Khoo
(Executive Director of Theater, Definitely)
Playwright and theater director Jahye Khoo explores different ways in which contemporary issues are embodied on stage as well as the role of art, thereby evoking a sense of doubt and skepticism. Her works can be described as powerful representations of the voices of minorities. Together with actors, she devises onstage utterances that challenge and raise questions about theatricality. Khoo’s recent works include We Are (Not) For Jokes, a compelling declaration of transgender pride, and This Is Only for The Audiences, DOOSAN ART CENTER Streaming Service Theater, which delves into the problem of perception of reenactment on stage in the post-pandemic era.
