Adult Children

Choreographer: CHOI Moonsuk
Dancers: Kim Chosul, Park Jungeun, Sami Similae

Description

In modern society, there are people who want to remain children forever.

High growth – social phenomenon – weakening of the will to take responsibility – rising prices – population decline – aging society – population movement and weakening of values of urban area

Korea’s young generation struggles to get employed and get married, but there are many cases where they have no choice but to be stay single, regardless of what they would like to do.
These days, lifestyles and cultures have become more diverse, and we are changing into a society that respects individuals differences.
Forcing one to follow a general path of life is perceived as an unacceptable act that diminishes individuality.

The corrent social conditions in which it has become too difficult for young people to get a job, housing prices are so high that they can not afford to buy a home. Childcare and education costs are high. All problems of the young generation from a structural perspective.

Being influenced by appearances. Phenomena that has become more important than existence.
It shows a weak will and inability to make decisions.
Since you don’t have your own opinionthe easiest way to follow the mainstream.
I can’t stand not being loved by others.
Sometimes we lack the resources to endure difficult times.
I hope someone else could give me some direction.
They want to only satisfy their needs in the short term.
They are unwilling to take responsibility because they have no ability to take responsibility.
