More Information

Europe-based South Korean theatre maker Jaha Koo uses video to closely interweave politics, history, and his own personal stories. Part of Koo’s Hamartia Trilogy, this play focuses on how the inescapable past tragically affects our lives today.

Three talking rice cookers — branded Cuckoo — are his conversation partners in painfully funny dialogues about the lonely lives a Korean generation faces. This intelligent, reflective, and haunting documentary theatre performance reveals a clash of Eastern and Western culture, such as the heavy personal toll of Western interference in the macroeconomic field.

Performed in Korean and English with English subtitles
