The essence of 희로애락 (huiroaerak) performance explores the intimate transformations of a woman’s life and body over time. Through the use of gestures, props, and the primary emotions (happiness, anger, sadness, pleasure), it illustrates a woman’s journey of self-discovery and relationship with the body and the body in relationship to others. Balancing a woman’s private growth and her relationship to the watching public, the artist and her props transform, merge, separate and evolve.

*희로애락 is a Korean term, quadtych in nature, that refers to the four primary emotions experienced by humans: happiness, anger, sadness, and pleasure.
