Manghanga is a powerful collaboration betw een Japan’s traditional Noh theatre and Korea’s vibrant nongak. Inspired by a 1993 documentary featuring the wife of a Korean forced laborer, the piece honors lives lost to war and violence. Borrowing verses from the ancient Baekje song “Jeongeupsa,” the work offers timeless comfort and reflection. Noh’s restrained expre ssion gives weight to historical sorrow, while the rhythmic energy of nongak awakens buried emotions. Crossing genres and borders, this performance becomes a shared space for mourning, healing, and imagining a future of coexistence.
