◆ ABOUT MERRY-GO-ROUND

“Merry-Go-Round” refers to a DJing technique in the hip-hop genre that repeats the interlude (break) of a song by using two turntables.

B-Boying, which originated from the music of the turntables, is a dance that mirrors our lives that flow with a repeated rhythm.

A wide range of emotions such as joy and sadness, accomplishment and emptiness are expressed by the dancers, and performed to dynamic Korean traditional music, delivering a unique sense of “heung" (a sense of joyful excitement) and “han” (a sense of deep sorrow or resentment) expressed by team MOVER through dance.


◆ PROGRAM

While staring at the music playing on the turntable,
we find that life oddly resembles the turntable that spins repeatedly;
The place where the needle comes down and touches, 
changes continuously.

What kind of life will we deliver when our needle comes down to the vinyl?
