Re-interpreting Today¡®s Myths
by Margareta Skantze
A seminar held at
5th International Women Playwrights Conference "Eros
Theatrou"
Athens and Delphi 1/7 October 2000
Yesterday I saw a wonderful play Dictee based on
texts by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, adapted and staged
by Kyong-Sook O, founder of the Korean theatre group
Mythos. It summed up much of the themes of this seminar.
Dictee shows the initation process of a modern young
Korean woman. It is a Grail legend with a female protagonist.
In order to find her own identity she looks for her
matrilinear heritage, her foremothers, her mother
and her grandmother. She looks for the history of
her own country. In her quest she is accompanied by
a woman saint: Jeanne d¢¥Arc who is split in two, just
as bewildered as the young and passionate female protagonist.
Her dark hair is dyed blonde, the upper part of her
body is dressed in armour concealing her breasts,
whereas the lower part of her body is dressed in the
most romantic and feminine dream of them all: the
white fluffy skirt of a ballet dancer.
In her quest for her self the young
woman turns to the Greek Muses hoping for an answer
to her quest. Finally she finds her inner sacred space.
The play ends with her standing behind a thin, thin
veil looking into a beautiful sanctuary filled with
music, golden sunrays and movement.
