The street gives its testimony as a witness and as a neighbor who misses them. They look at the present with the eyes of the past. They tell the story of the neighbors from far away, built up on the streets.|Artist|Chae plans performances and festivals as a dramaturge and is interested in ecodramaturge, which explores the various methods of capturing inhumane activities.
