Program Note
A young man, living a hand-to-mouth existence, encounters a group that appears to belong to the upper class, and undergoes a bizarre experience. Income inequality, survival of the fittest, and the struggle for survival are the inherent tendencies of a capitalist society. This work depicts the absurdity of a society that accepts any demands as long as compensation is provided, highlighting the inescapable vicious cycle of an unequal world. (Kristin JI)
