Program Note

Marina lost her parents in an accident and arrives at an orphanage. Other girls alienate the new arrival, so Marina suggests playing with dolls every night. A girl who became a doll cannot speak and cannot move even when a knife appears. The group’s madness is reflected in the girls’ doll play. Such Small Hands shows just how terrifying the evil in humans is. (LEE Dongyun)
