    Green Eye is a spectacular production with the artistic signature of the renowned Korean choreographer Kim Sung-hoon, inspired by Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello. It studies various forms of ugliness of human nature which can be seen in social situations and human relations. It is based on elements of “dance theatre”, using the form of anthology, where each movement becomes an organic variation on the theme of the dark core of a human being. The changing set design, visual stimuli from the objects filling the stage, the alteration of drama and the dance action of the dancer expressing human nature, evokes in the audience the feeling of meeting their true self that they might have always wanted to avoid…

     

    “From the very beginning – eight black tables and eight dancers dressed in black – there is a strong visual impact. The performers’ gestures, sounds resembling recitation and other audio effects, everything has a meaning here. The production is enhanced by the stage design in the form of a painting on stage with ink (…) The movements and objects connected with everyday life form wild images, dancers’ solos under the chandeliers hanging above them as well as simple movements of the dancers, including two naked ones, overflow the stage with their energy.”
