Program Note

Today’s society may lack understanding regarding female labor. That’s why Director Manolis Mavris compares it to the labor of honeybees to reveal how the system structuralizes female labor. Metaphorical imagination makes reality quite unfamiliar, successfully and clearly indicating the problems. Excellent directing that does not elude cinematic pleasure. (LEE Dongyun)
