A culinary performance. In Haribo Kimchi, we find ourselves in a pojangmacha, one of the typical late-night snack bars found on the streets of South Korea. There, we meet three characters – a snail, a gummy bear, and an eel – who take us on a culinary journey, exploring food as shelter for those dislocated from their culture. In a series of intimate, absurdist anecdotes, they recount the evolution of kimchi culture, the pain of racism, the shame of trying to blend in, and the deep umami taste of home. After his "Hamartia Trilogy" (2021), South Korean theatre maker and composer Jaha Koo returns with his newest creation. In a hybrid style that combines music, cutting-edge video, and robotic performers, the artist reflects on cultural assimilation with all its conflicts and paradoxes. In an exceptional performance engaging all the senses, he shares personal stories marinated in sweet-and-sour melancholy.
