Two lonely people from two divided cultures meet on an online dating site. Guk is a South Korean man whose wife and daughter have moved to America in search of a better life. Yoo is a young defector from North Korea, haunted by memories of the father she left behind. The would-be lovers struggle to find intimacy and genuine connection in a clamorous digital world where tenderness and touch have been replaced by likes and shares.
Featuring a chorus, music and a penguin, this is a lyrical, darkly humorous and extraordinarily original play.
Hansol Jung is a playwright and director from South Korea whose other works include Cardboard Piano, Among the Dead and No More Sad Things.
