SYNOPSIS

Kong-ji is the most competent worker in the area. One day, toads gather to help her, but the water keeps on leaking from the broken jar, because they have to get off from work.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Narrative begins, from clinging on a piece of episode from a traditional folk tale, or from a piece of faded signboard image. Whether it has been passed on by mouth, or has been left from a demolition, remaining traces exist all the time, and the narrator makes up events, depending on such traces. The signboard shop that still stands in Seoul, turns into a ‘landscape’ when detached from the events, and turns into a ‘place’ as heterotopia, when characters temporarily intervene. It still floods, in front of the place.
