The Art & Culture platform "JIGU-I" aims to awaken sensitivity to life by providing a cultural experience. JIGU-I defines Ecological Art through various art projects: "Earth Eye" (a short film with the theme of 'Eyes' of a child, hope for the future in the destroyed relationship between the earth and humans), "Boat People" (a creative play about the near future of a planet submerged due to climate change), "While Remembering" (a creative play about remembering the extinct beings, summoning them by traditional Korean ritual). Note that "JIGU" means "Earth" in Korean.
People for Earth launched the Earth
Eye Art platform last year and presented the first play Boat People
from December 10th to 11th.
Boat People is set in the near-future, the earth, which is all
submerged in water due to climate change and contains the story of the small choices
of the characters.
Director YoungDuk Kang said,
“I tried to capture the attitude toward our life surrounded by numerous ironies
in this work.” He emphasized that all our small choices are in contact with our
lives and even the fate of the earth.
This work, designed to explore
the way of living in earth community, was produced in various compositions such
as jazz performances, violin performances and sword dances.
This is the first regular
performance of the People for Earth based on their studies.
