A mixed art work of circus, theatre, dance and movement about everything we give up and endure to win. Kyo Ru Gi (meaning competition in Korean) is about adrenaline, glory, ambition and sacrifice. In a self-revealing circus mix of pole, whip, lasso, hair hanging, roller skates and contortion acrobatics, mixed with theatre, humor and dance, four characters ask questions about our emotional development and our ideas about gender roles.
