긴: 연희해체프로젝트 I
Republic of Korea / Creation 2021
An ancestral art form is deconstructed and reborn. Through the energy of dance and percussion, a contemporary aesthetic, beyond traditions, reveals another side of Korea.
In Korean, the word Yeonhee refers to a centuries-old art form that blends dance, circus, and percussion – disciplines that are also found in Liquid Sound’s performances. For over ten years, this company, bringing together artists from diverse backgrounds, has been committed to keeping this traditional art alive in the present, through a free, distinctly contemporary, and often electric reinterpretation. With its pared-down staging, sumptuous costumes, and striking acts, KIN: Yeonhee Project I is an invitation to journey through South Korean culture, led by outstanding multidisciplinary artists whose codified gestures intersect with the most avant-garde ideas.

Support Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE)
Korea Arts Management Service(KAMS) works to connect Korean artists and their creations with stages and audiences across the world, supporting the international circulation and global presence of Korean performing arts.
For its 80th edition, the Festival d’Avignon welcomes Korean as its guest language. Through performances, literature, and a constellation of artistic encounters, this programme offers an opportunity to share with audiences the vitality, imagination, and cultural depth of contemporary Korean arts.
This invitation has grown out of the longstanding exchange and collaboration between the Seoul Performing Arts Festival(SPAF), an annually held festival organized by KAMS, and the Festival d’Avignon. KAMS is proud and delighted to join this initiative as a main partner, introducing outstanding works representing Korea to Avignon after 28 years. On this occasion, the SPAF will continue to strengthen its collaboration with the Festival d'Avignon.
We hope that the openness, resilience, and artistic imagination carried by the Korean language will resonate with audiences around the world, creating new echoes and connections. May this collaboration open new paths for artistic encounters and dialogue between Korea and the international performing arts community.
