[Gu:t]

By Soo Yeun You

21 March 2013 – 22 March 2013 Tower Theatre

Malthouse Theatre, Kath Papas Productions, Dance Massive,

Theatre Dance Collaboration

Through a Korean shamanistic ritual [Gu:t] 굿 , Soo Yeun You and senior Torres Strait Island man Albert David venerate the living memory of two much-loved ancestors – their grandmothers. Using as its foundation the powerful Korean shamanistic ritual which gives its name to the work, [Gu:t] 굿 is a meeting place to redefine landscape in a frame: life-death, yin-yang, two cultures, two extraordinary performers.

 

"[GU:T] WAS INCREDIBLY POTENT, NOT MERELY EVOCATIVE, BUT SOMEHOW DREW TOGETHER ELEMENTS TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE ONSTAGE."
