"Escape_Time to Breathe" is based on the interviews of North Korean defects. The play starts off with the question, "Are the lives of these people who risked their lives to start a new life happy in South Korea?" North Korean sisters Mi-seon and Mi-yeon tell the story of adjusting to a new system, poverty and social criticism.

This generation's storyteller Go Sun-woong took down the fence between stage and audience to deliver a more realistic story of the defects. In the first 40 minutes of the play, the story unravels in silence and intensity.

Go Sun-woong says, "The KB Theater is most appropriate for the play as it's round. The energy of the actors on stage and the unique layout of the theater will create a new piece of work".

"Escape_Time to Breathe" will be live from December 25th to January 9th.
