Program Note
“Reds”, a women’s gymnastics team, undergoes rigorous training for the perfect performance and skills. Just like performing gymnastics on a galloping horse, danger and tension always accompany them, and the ability to communicate and synchronize with the horse is crucial. The coach manages the athletes strictly, and they go through peculiar rituals in pursuit of perfection. Watching the breathtaking gymnastics performed on horseback evokes a sense of tension and a strange beauty. (Kani KIM)
