Program Note
Living a hellish everyday life, Mu-yeon tries to create someone else to replace herself, only to realize that she is already a being thrown into hell by someone else. This work intertwines the urban legend of a rat that eats human fingernails and transforms into a human, and the theme of the doppelgänger, another ‘me’ that exists somewhere with social issues, such as domestic violence and questions of identity, delivering a creepy yet poignant narrative. (MO Eun-young)
