The melody from the shoreline
5 luglio 2017 CANTIERE OBERDAN h.21.30
After losing her husband, a woman devotes everything to her baby. But the woman needs to go working by the shore and has no other choice but to leave the baby at home. While working her mind is always preoccupied with the baby left alone at home. She struggles against the waves and thinks of her baby: what if someone sneaks in and steals the baby? What if she hurts herself while crawling around? What if she’s crying out of hunger? What if she’s terrified being alone? Thousands questions unfold in the woman’s head, driving her crazy. After work the woman hurries back home and finds the baby peacefully asleep. She gently holds her baby. She feels relieved and grateful to the gods. The story is inspired from an old Korean children song “Baby in Island”. Many single working mothers have the same dilemma. They struggle to take care of Baby, while working to survive. The students arranged the story into a non-verbal performance with the use of Korean traditional mask dance and music.
