BALHUA(발화)

Balhua is a 13-minute research project under the frame of HIER = JETZT.

BALHUA began the story of Jihun Choi's personal extreme experience of Burnout syndrome

by asking whether everyone is running toward burnout without noticing.

Together with the entire track of "Module 8_9 III" by Nik Bärtsch,

the performer constantly repeats movement with complex layers and development.

Repetition exhausts the performer, but simultaneously,

it becomes a ritual that leads the performer to a state of meditation and ecstasy. 

The appearance of a human being in a constant loop of trying his best evoked

physical reaction, feelings of uncomfortableness, and the action of cheering the performer up in the audience.
