ON EPISTEMOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN ATOMIC PHYSICS
A play about unrequited love

SYNOPSIS
The PLAYWRIGHT of this play is deeply confounded by the workings of quantum mechanics, and she is determined to get past it by writing a play about it. But when she becomes overwhelmed by her own desperation to understand physics, she leaves the stage, forcing the great minds of the 20th century, Heisenberg, Pauli and Einstein, to keep the play going by themselves… only they all have different ideas about this play. Will the playwright and her company survive this chaotic spacetime entanglement of theater and physics?

THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER

SYNOPSIS
1980s Seoul, Korea. Everyday students and intellectuals were arrested, tortured, and coerced into admitting their “communist” activities. But Electra, the second daughter of Agamemnon, a war hero and two-star general, has no care for those commoners as she tries to make her depressed and obsessive mother Clytemnestra - who has been depressed since her sister Iphegenia left home to throw herself into the democratic movement and his brother Orestes went to military- happy by granting her dear wish: her daughter to find a perfect man and get married. But the more she tries it becomes clearer that she can never make her mother happy the way her other siblings can.

AJ wakes up having just missed his stop. Only he realizes that he couldn’t have gotten off anyway because he has been riding on a caterpillar the whole time.
