My friend, Sharamie, and I went to see The Painters at the Seoul Cinema in Jongno this week. We both enjoyed a much needed night out on the town!
The website and brochure bill The Painters as "an innovative art performance that stages the mid-blowing skills of live drawing with incredible visual effects filled with a witty blend of mime, dance, and comedy right before your eyes." That was definitely the case.
The artists came out to the theme of Charlie's Angels and immediately started with the audience participation by calling a very shy, unsuspecting woman on stage. They did this a few times and of course the "victims" were rewarded with show swag. They continued their comedic behavior throughout the performance - all while creating beautiful art in various mediums. Here are a few examples, taken after the show when we were allowed:
The Man of Steel made his appearance via Rubik's Cube sculpture (the pattern on the reverse was his "S" symbol):
The comedy even extended to the building's restrooms (though I'm guessing it wasn't intended as such) with this helpful, directional chart in each stall. : ) Just had to share the chuckle.
Thanks to the KTO and K-Performance Supporters for the chance to go see a pretty cool show!
