WOLF PLAY
by Hansol Jung
Directed by Heyjin Kwon
NOTE: Wolf Play includes flashing lights.
Director's Statement
In Wolf Play, Wolf does not specify his identity, although we know a bit about him. We do not know what happened to him with Peter or what happened to him before he met Peter. Therefore, throughout his journey, he tries to find a place to fit into as a member of the place.
This play explores where we live right now. It shows us different identities. However,
their stories are not just about finding individual identities. They are trying to
find a family and struggling to live together. It is about accepting and understanding
each other. That is what our society needs now: to welcome and accept others as members
of society.
