EN) Gagokbounce: One by One is a full-length project with text by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha that interweaves music, language, and performance. Sebastian Claren's composition combines precise formal structures with echoes of traditional Korean music, allowing the existential text to be experienced anew through sound. Hyunju Oh complements the musical layer with performative and visual signatures of memory, identity, and transformation. Together, they open up a space in which sounds, gestures, and images merge into an intense poetic experience.
DE) Gagokbounce: One by One ist ein abendfüllendes Projekt mit einem Text von Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, das Musik, Sprache und Performance miteinander verwebt. Sebastian Claren schafft eine Komposition, die präzise formale Strukturen mit Anklängen an traditionelle koreanische Musik verbindet und den existentiellen Text klanglich neu erfahrbar macht. Hyunju Oh ergänzt die musikalische Ebene durch performative und visuelle Signaturen von Erinnerung, Identität und Transformation. Gemeinsam öffnen sie einen Raum, in dem Klänge, Gesten und Bilder zu einer intensiven poetischen Erfahrung verschmelzen.
KR) 차학경의 텍스트를 바탕으로 한 “가곡바운스 : 하나씩 하나씩”은 음악, 언어, 퍼포먼스를 결합한 하나의 장편 프로젝트다. 세바스티안 클라렌(Sebastian Claren)은 전통 한국 음악의 향기를 담은 정교한 형식 구조를 통해, 실존적 텍스트를 소리적으로 새롭게 경험하게 하는 작품을 탄생시켰다. 오현주는 기억, 정체성, 변형에 대한 퍼포먼스와 시각적 기호를 그 음악의 차원에 더한다. 그들은 함께 소리, 제스처, 이미지가 강렬한 시적 경험으로 융합되는 공간을 열어낸다.
