“... a full sensory immersion from the start.”
“… a quiet meditation on how our familial trauma can become an open wound”

A Held Posture
Created, Designed & Performed by Hyung Seok Jeon
What would you see when you get to the bottom?
A Held Posture is a solo performance. The piece explores the image impulse of sinking into the deep ocean. Through a visual investigation of the abyss, the piece explores the sensation of falling and the experience of generational loss. Formal experiments, including puppetry, a live video feed, and a soundscape created with wireless headphones, guide the audience into the intimate and minimal space within the self.
