Elephants Laugh - Muljil
South Korea
Australian Exclusive
The Korean word ‘MULJIL’ refers to the critical moment of breathlessness encountered by Haenyeo, the female divers of Jeju Island. Only those who are determined to risk their lives can overcome such brief moments of crisis and the crossroads of life and death encountered when diving, exists in our daily lives. Although separated like islands, we are all immersed in the same sea. Nobody can choose the conditions of life themselves. Theatre collective Elephants Laugh work in community spaces to confront and explore the social issues of our time.
