WHY VISIT
Crying While Eating Garlic is a play themed around “the fatigue of coexistence and relationships,” reinterpreting the “Transformation of the Bear and the Tiger into Humans” from the Dangun myth in a contemporary context. The work begins with the question of why the tiger failed to endure “one hundred days in the cave eating only mugwort and garlic.” The play imagines that the reason was the difficulty of coexisting with the bear, and from this perspective, it explores the exhaustion, failures, and subtle efforts of coexistence that we encounter today. The performance is composed not as a single narrative but as a collage of short, repeated scenes.
