This video hit the web right after the performance. The festival organizers kept coming up to me and shouting, “You’re on the news! There’s a video of you on the internet!” I was surprised to see it and all the other great press. I love Korea and really want to visit again!
Perhaps it was because this festival was set in a university location- I found South Korea to be incredibly interested in performance art. They have a rich and long history of it themselves. My performance made the news on several big stations and I kept scoring interviews. The only word I remember is thankyou. I said thankyou a lot as people were very kind. There were many hilarious translations like this one:
All in all, I could not believe how much more advanced this country seemed than America in its patronage of the arts.
