★★★☆☆ Review: Haribo Kimchi by Jaha Koo / CAMPO

Jaha Koo delivers a whimsical, uplifting show about food and connection in a foreign land. What links a person to their culture? A common answer from many Singaporeans would undoubtedly be food, not only in the tastes, but the scents, atmospheres, and experiences inexplicably tied to them. In that same vein, with Haribo Kimchi, Korean artist Jaha Koo has also found himself turning to food … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Haribo Kimchi by Jaha Koo / CAMPO

The Studios 2025: An Interview with Jaha Koo on ‘Haribo Kimchi’ and the process of creation

The surprising flavour of seaweed soup. The sharp sound of a knife slicing cucumber. The hiss and sizzle of mushrooms on a scorching fire. In Haribo Kimchi, South Korean theatremaker and composer Jaha Koo invites us into a pojangmacha, or a typical neon-lit street food tents from Korea. Get ready to meet a snail, a gummy bear, and an eel as they guide us through … Continue reading The Studios 2025: An Interview with Jaha Koo on ‘Haribo Kimchi’ and the process of creation

The Studios 2025: An Interview with playwright David Finnigan on ‘Scenes From The Climate Era’

A couple debates whether to bring a child into a world on fire. Scientists race to build a coral reef in a lab. Somewhere in Antarctica, a team attempts to hold back a melting glacier with a seawall. And in the dark, the last frog of its species calls out—hoping, futilely, for a mate. In Scenes from the Climate Era, Australian playwright David Finnigan zooms … Continue reading The Studios 2025: An Interview with playwright David Finnigan on ‘Scenes From The Climate Era’
