Chumpan Yamoo presented five solo works between 2013 and 2020, with a common theme of 'People living alone with nothing or nobody to lean on in this Korean society.' These five works were put together on one stage in 2021, under the title of Oh (number five in Korean). During this 5 hours and 30 minutes, each work remained individual, but together they formed a subtle splendor at the same time.
At Acker Stadt Palast, the two works „Are you really human?“ & „Worn out“ are now being presented as a double bill.
Worn out
My ability to sense in relation to moving things is wearing out before I know it. I fail to communicate with moving things, resulting in malfunction and misunderstanding.
I am creating a relationship with things that do not move.
I am beginning to resemble things that do not move.
The process of becoming similar through wear and tear.
I am on the way of accepting wear and tear.
Are you really human?
Someone started to misunderstand him.
In a crowd, individuals are inevitably branded as they wish.
He decided to follow the mentality of the crowd instead of resistance and excuses.
And he reminded himself that he was such a person.

Chumpan Yamoo is a contemporary dance company based in Seoul, Korea. Since its foundation in 2009, it has focused on the relationship between humans. And ever since the premiere of As for Me in 2019, it has been keeping its own methodology of "separation as a creative concept," which aims to dismantle works by separation and to pursue creating works with blank spaces. It believes that the audience will have more freedom of imagination and interpretation right at the moment when the empty space appears.
