Gravity - Round - Ground 

This performance combines diverse elements: traditional Korean performing arts, parkour, circus, object handling and diverse technologies of interaction using light and sounds resonating in empty place.

G.Round was inspired by an empty oil tank. The gravity of a huge, round and vacuum space brings movements of round objects like balls. The friction between these movements and a human body fills this empty, metallic space with reverberant sounds. Such mechanical sounds resonate in endless, repetitive and restrained movements while balls stay in the air. The audience then encounter a momentary compaction of the vacuum. The compressed air created by such a repetitive play of the body and balls leads the audience to hinder and expand the performance by themselves on the playground. In essence, the audience complete the performance by transforming what they see. G.Round is performed through the interactive effects of all factors in the space, thus presenting a world connected with distinguishable elements.​
