CHULSOO'S WORLD
BEFORE YOU ENTER
Opening this door may forever alter the performance you imagined.
Here, you will find thoughts I never shared onstage.
They are not the definitive meaning of the work. But once you know them, you may never see the performance quite the same way again.
Still want to take a look?

The Third Color
Let us return to the first question.
What are the three colors?
Traditional Korean music and jazz.
Then what is the third color?
I was thinking of you, sitting in the audience.
Just as the five people onstage are different, everyone in the audience is different, too.
Someone may be enjoying the performance.
Someone may be moved, while someone else may not understand it at all.
Perhaps someone is bored.
I like imagining that scene.
People listening to the same music in the same space, yet each experiencing something different.
In truth, I cannot know how someone will receive the performance I have made.
Nor can I decide that for them.
But that is what makes it interesting.
At first, I imagined three colors: traditional Korean music, jazz, and the audience.
But when I think about it, traditional Korean music is not a single color, and neither is jazz.
The people in the audience each have their own colors, too.
I called it three colors, but in fact there are countless colors in that space.
I find that deeply appealing.
