In creating Nameless forest, choreographer Dean Moss was inspired by the work of Korean sculptor and poet Sungmyung Chun, who helped develop the project and continues as a collaborator.
Nameless forest captures the immediacy of physical and psychological violence through a dynamic kinetic experience that includes movement, sound landscapes, diary fragments, war zone imagery, and visual effects using mirrored surfaces and neon.
Chun’s life-size sculptural figures are an integral part of the work onstage. As many as 20 audience members will join the cast onstage for each performance, reflecting the community’s role – and the risks we all take – in making art.
