Intro

A sharp drama woven from the actors' bodies on an empty stage

Synopsis

Factory girl is based on a short story written by YU, Jin-oh. The original text was published serially in a daily newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo, over 16 times in 1931. Four actors dramatize the text as characters and narrators and form an ensemble with dancing movements and sound over representational acting. They also focus on Ok-soon's moments of struggle and inner conflict in her irrational working
environment.
