Laure Mi Hyun Croset: «I'm a stylist».»

Après la publication d’une critique de «Pop-corn girl», court récit teinté d’ironie et de stéréotypes sur les déboires d’une jeune Genevoise en échange dans une banlieue de Chicago, nous poursuivons notre immersion dans l’œuvre de Laure Mi Hyun Croset. Aussi la rencontre-nous au café des Voisins à Genève, pour en apprendre d’avantage sur sa conception de son travail et de la littérature.

Jaha Koo, committed performer and creator of multimedia theater

Swiss stages often open up to other actors and directors from all over the world. And here we find the rare pearls of today's and tomorrow's theater. The forty-third edition of Geneva's La Bâtie festival welcomed an intriguing personality in the person of Jaha Koo. Originally from South Korea, this artist presents a multimedia theater at the crossroads of his personal trajectory, history and socio-political issues. An actor-creator, performer, video artist and musical composer, Jaha Koo has arrived in Geneva with his creation Cuckoo. It features him accompanied by three rice cookers from South Korea's popular Cuckoo brand. Gifted with words, the three cookers recount their problems and, interspersed with the artist and the video, plunge us into South Korean history, that of the 1997 financial crisis which, even today, has left its mark on Korean society. With this interview, Le Regard Libre takes you to meet the man who will undoubtedly go down as one of the great theatre-makers of this century.
