Ja Ha Koo

South Korea has a great love of American culture. English lessons are therefore an absolute must. For this, Koreans go to great lengths, such as having the lingual frenulum of their children cut in order to enable them to pronounce the R, a non-existent consonant in the Korean language. In his performance the young director and composer Ja Ha Koo satirizes this endemic social phenomenon by portraying a fictional family. With the help of video and a CD player, he tartly sketches — in English, of course — a society caught between desire and reality.
