In 'Haribo Kimchi', Jaha Koo takes us to a South Korean pojangmacha, where three characters—a snail, a gummy bear, and an eel—guide us on a culinary journey exploring food as a refuge for those displaced from their culture, in a performance blending music, video, and robotic performers.

Full details

Synopsis Presented with the Alkantara Festival Jaha Koo HARIBO KIMCHI ACCESSIBILITY In Korean and English with Portuguese and English subtitles This show contains loud sound and strong smells In Haribo Kimchi, we find ourselves in a pojangmacha, one of the typical late-night street food bars in South Korea. There, we meet three characters—a snail, a gummy bear, and an eel—who lead us on a culinary journey, exploring food as a refuge for those living displaced from their culture. In a series of intimate and absurd accounts, the characters revisit the evolution of kimchi culture, the bitter pain of unfiltered racism, the shame of trying to fit in, and the deep umami taste of home. In a hybrid style combining music, video, and robotic performers, Jaha Koo reflects on cultural assimilation with all its conflicts and paradoxes. In an exceptional performance that awakens all the senses, he serves personal stories marinated in bittersweet melancholy. After its national premiere at Teatro Municipal do Porto in March 2025, Haribo Kimchi now arrives at TBA, opening the Alkantara Festival 2026. Jaha Koo is a South Korean theatre/performance creator, music composer, and videographer. His artistic practice oscillates between multimedia and performance, encompassing his own music, video, text, and robotic objects. Thematically, he focuses on structural issues of Korean society and how the inescapable past tragically affects our lives today. In 2026, Jaha Koo became the youngest and first Asian artist to receive the prestigious International Ibsen Award.

Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse Apresentado com o Alkantara Festival Jaha Koo HARIBO KIMCHI ACESSIBILIDADE Em coreano e inglês com legendas em português e inglês Este espetáculo contém som alto e cheiros fortes Em Haribo Kimchi , encontramo-nos num pojangmacha, um dos típicos bares de comida de rua noturnos da Coreia do Sul. Ali, conhecemos três personagens , um caracol, um ursinho de goma e uma enguia , que nos conduzem numa viagem culinária, explorando a comida como refúgio para aqueles que vivem deslocados da sua cultura. Numa série de relatos íntimos e absurdos, as personagens revisitam a evolução da cultura do kimchi, a dor amarga do racismo sem filtros, a vergonha de tentar integrar-se e o profundo sabor umami de casa. Num estilo híbrido que combina música, vídeo e performers robóticos, Jaha Koo reflete sobre a assimilação cultural com todos os seus conflitos e paradoxos. Numa performance excecional que desperta todos os sentidos, serve histórias pessoais marinadas numa melancolia agridoce. Depois da estreia nacional no Teatro Municipal do Porto, em março 2025, Haribo Kimchi chega agora ao TBA, abrindo Alkantara Festival 2026. Jaha Koo é um criador de teatro/performance, compositor musical e videógrafo sul-coreano. A sua prática artística oscila entre multimédia e performance, englobando a sua própria música, vídeo, texto e objetos robóticos. De um ponto de vista temático, centra-se em questões estruturais da sociedade coreana e na forma como o passado incontornável afeta de modo trágico as nossas vidas atualmente. Em 2026, Jaha Koo tornou-se o mais jovem e o primeiro artista asiático a receber o prestigiado International Ibsen Award.
