The Time Painter is a 60-minute performance by ACC, ACCF, Haddangse as part of the Korean Season by GCC and AtoBiz, staged at Studio Three. Using only a table and a single sheet of paper, the show creates a dreamlike world in which memory, dreams, history and reality blur. Mrs Moon, a survivor of the May 18 Gwangju massacre, lost her daughter in the struggle for democracy — and her story continues to shape the present. Shifting paper objects, movement and powerful visuals draw audiences into an emotional journey that asks what it truly means to remember. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A quietly extraordinary piece of theatre that builds its entire world from a table and a sheet of paper. The story of Mrs Moon connects historical tragedy to the present with unusual delicacy — worth seeking out.
