The Spy Who Came in from the Park

Five Days More Production Team • Student/Youth company

50 minutes•Forest Theatre
A loyal North Korean sleeper agent in Japan receives a surreal mission: escorting the regime’s headstrong heir through a capitalist theme park. Inside this "dream factory," his ideological devotion cracks. He realises both the park and his motherland are hierarchies built on manufactured delusions. Forsaking grand narratives, the agent discovers the value of ordinary individuals. Yet, as the agent finds his heart, the child finds his hunger. Atop the fairytale castle, the heir rejects toys for something far more addictive: the intoxicating power of looking down upon the world.
