November 26: Sun Moon-looking Dog and I Saw the Elephant

These contemporary Korean plays are a perfect introduction to the startling stagecraft that defines modern Korea. Moon-looking Dog made shockwaves with its esoteric look at the self in the context of the modern day – winning honors in France in 2000. I Saw the Elephant questions the nature of things, urging a second look with the mind’s eye.
