Doosan Art Center announced on the 19th that DAC Artist (Doosan Art Center Artist) Jin Haejeong's new work, "Love and Information," will be performed at Doosan Art Center Space111 until November 4.

DAC Artist is a program that discovers young artists under the age of 40, supports the production of new works, and provides various creative activities such as research and workshops for work development and overseas training.

This year’s selected director Jin Haejeong has been exploring social minorities such as adoptees, women, and queer people through the creative group "Project Ear" since 2016, engaging in diverse artistic activities. This creative tendency has been well expressed in plays such as "Welkin," "Monsoon," "Rotterdam," and "The Scenery Where You Were."

"Love and Information" features 5 actors playing over 100 characters and more than 70 scenes. The work arranges puzzle-like scenes consecutively, inviting the audience to imagine omitted lines and scenes.

In particular, through an experimental format that breaks away from traditional drama forms, the audience is offered the enjoyment of scrolling through the internet or watching short-form content.

The work suggests how human desire to know divides our lives by portraying characters who lose their way amid various information and stimuli and cannot trust what they once knew.

Director Jin Haejeong said, “I chose this work because it well reflects my current theatrical concerns and issues that need to be discussed within our society.”

Tickets can be purchased on the Doosan Art Center website and Interpark. After the performance on the 22nd, a talk session with the audience will be held.
