Jaha Koo / CAMPO: Haribo Kimchi

Haribo Kimchi is a heart-warming performance for all the senses about migration, home and the healing power of food. Jaha Koo invites the audience to a pojangmacha, a typical late-night snack bar that can be seen scattered across the streets of South Korea. Together with a baby eel, a singing snail and a gummi bear, he takes us on a culinary journey and explores food cultures as an approach to understand the structures of a society. In an autofictional setting, Jaha Koo shares touching, funny and absurd anecdotes about the diaspora of Kimchi culture, cannibalism during the great famine, the sour pain of unadulterated racism and the deep umami taste of home.

After Cuckoo in 2019 and The History of Korean Western Theater in 2021, both part ofthe Hamartia Trilogy (2021), in which he delved into the far-reaching imperialism in East Asia, the South Korean theatre maker and composer Jaha Koo returns to Sophiensæle with his newest creation. In his typical hybrid style, combining music, cutting-edge video and robotic performers, the artist reflects on cultural assimilation with all its conflicts and paradoxes. In an exceptional performance that plays with all the senses, he alters our perception of food for good. In his typical hybrid style between documentary and autofictional material, he blends pop, brightly colored videos, animations and musical compositions with tender, quiet and thoughtful moments.
