SUMMARY:Take Me To Your Leader: The Seoul of a Clown
DESCRIPTION:A one-clown kaleidoscope of beauty\, tradition\, and tyranny — where a pansori diva\, a K-beauty fanatic\, and a self-proclaimed dictator collide in a hilarious search for identity and power. \nIn Take Me to Your Leader: The Seoul of a Clown\, beauty\, ritual\, and absurdity collide in a one-clown fever dream. From the haunting rhythms of pansori to the fluorescent glow of a K-beauty altar\, Monel Chang (aka Moldy Melon) shape shifts through characters both divine and deranged: a folk diva\, a skincare-obsessed disciple\, and a dictator throwing themself a birthday party. \nPart satire\, part spiritual exorcism\, and entirely clown\, this genre-defying solo performance unpacks the obsessions that bind us — from perfection and purity to power and control. With live sound\, ritual gesture\, and a face full of toner\, The Seoul of a Clown invites audiences into a surreal search for identity\, laughter\, and liberation.
