Sommario/riassunto

"Ping Chong's four-part masterwork"--About the play.

"Pojagi is a prismatic exploration of Korean history from the 16th century to the dawn of the 21st century, focusing primarily on Korea's relations with Japan and the United States. Inspired by traditional Korean shamanistic rituals, Pojagi was devised as a theatrical rite of discovery and longing, a summoning of the dead to give witness to the present. Eyewitness testimonies of early encounters between Europeans and Koreans, a succession of Japanese occupations, the assassination of Korea's Queen Min, the arbitrary partition of the Korean peninsula at the dawn of the Cold War, and reflections on the delicate ecosystem of



the demilitarized zone combine to tell the tale of an indomitable people and embattled land"--pingchong.org.
