It was previously planned for Modern Table to stage "Awake" and "Darkness PoomBa" (choreography, music: Jaeduk Kim) at the Owlspot Theater on November 7 (Mon) and 8 (Tue), as part of the F/T11 Emerging Artists Program. However, due to the wishes of the company it has been decided instead to stage "Awake" with "Joker's Blues".
The performance change now means that the double-bill by Modern Table both become Japan premieres.
"Joker's Blues" features traditional pansori songs and music alongside a highly physical performance. It explores the ambivalence of contemporary society through the motif of the clown, in a sublime physical rendering of the duality of the sad and the comic.
Please also note that ticket for the F/T Emerging Artists Program go on sale from September 10 (Sat), at 12:00.
