Animal Farm

This staging of Animal Farm represents the spiral of history: the repetition of authority disguised as renewal. Through shifting sound motifs and the physical repositioning of the commandments onstage, the performance makes visible how power ascends only to twist downward again.

The theme “Spiral” reflects the structure of this adaptation.
The animals believe they are moving upward—toward freedom and equality—yet they spiral back into a familiar form of oppression. This Animal Farm visualizes a revolution that turns in circles, convincing its participants that progress is happening while power returns to the same hands with a different face.

This production highlights the evolution of language as a mechanism of power. Propaganda is delivered through amplified sound and collective rhythm. Allegiance and labor are embodied in Boxer’s physical exhaustion, while Squealer manipulates truth through staged announcements. By exposing the tools of authority without illusion, the performance emphasizes that tyranny grows through agreement, silence, and familiarity.

Performed in Korean with English subtitles.
