Synopsis

Tree Won't Seek for Shoestore is a theater piece originated from a seven page-long draft written by the playwright Yoon Youngsun. Tree Won't Seek for Shoestore is a collective creation by members of greenpig with additional text by Jeon Seong-hyun. Tree Won't Seek for Shoestore is a serious of pictorial episodes portraying paradoxical aspect of capital-driven human civilization, human paradox seen in the development of civilization and the destruction by contrasting it with 'shoes (civilization)' and 'trees (nature)'. By intersecting short episodes such as Monkey's Flower Shoes, Feet, Fetus in Yoon Youngsun's poetic and melancholic language, the performance tells the audience a fable that did not exist in the world.
Monkey's Flower Shoes is based on a fairy tale written by Jung Hwi-chang. Fetus Chitchat deals with upright walking and the origin of pain. Contract, is the story about a fetus who doesn't want to be born negotiating with the mother. And Tree Won't Seek for Shoe Store talks about the death of the mother and human dignity.

On the stage of this performance is a waste mountain made from scrap fabric from a sewing factory. On top of it, the actors wear costumes in indistinguishable colors and move as if only their faces are floating around. The stage, with a grotesque atmosphere, depicts human desire running without brakes represented by nuclear energy and nuclear power plants, the capital that fuels them, and the collapse of civilization and humanity as a result.

In addition, it borrows the perspective of a 'fetus who does not want to be born' to imagine an extremely realistic dystopia. Tree Won’t Seek for Shoe Store first part1 of greenpig's 'e(environment)-trilogy'. Most of costumes and props used in the show are recycled and upcycled items that are no longer used or had been thrown-away, thus adding more meaning to the work.
