‘People’s obsession, desire, and thoughts remain as ghosts, though it is no more related to themselves after death. Sadly, they exist as ghosts, living as souls that is more concentrated on their obsessions. If we’re being awaked while we are alive and get rid of our obsessions, we will not become ghosts and obsessions but those things can decrease naturally.’

<Piercing of Soul> is inspired by the direction proposer, Jinho Lim’s experience of working as a funeral director for several years. The movements are based on the inquiry about bewilderedness and contradictory behaviors that can be found in the traditional funeral ceremony. Analysis of death and burial service became the foundation of movements of the piece. At the border of death, the piece expresses the chaos of both being alive and dead bodies with grotesque and exaggerated imaginations.
