‘5100: Pentagon’ a choreographed performance inspired by collected archival images relating to the 18 May 1980 Gwangju uprising. Each performance is based on a web-tutorial accessed by anonymous groups of participants with no restrictions to age, gender and art experience. The music for the performance is influenced by the 1980’s demonstration song, ‘A Song of May’.
The project brings to light an unexplored period in history as an intensive moment. Examining the potentially shared agreement formed by multiple individuals, performing multiple expressions at one event.
