CANCER SPACE
Cancer Space is an interactive theater performance that serves as a metaphor for the body with cancer. Drawing from Foucault’s concept of heterotopia—a “world within a world”—it explores the connection between the psycho-somatic space of a body with cancer and the external world.
The audience enters a narrow underground space, transformed into a theatrical landscape—like stepping into the performer’s mind. They are free to sit anywhere, immersing themselves in this intimate, internal world.
Cancer Space catches and releases the hidden emotions of daily life. But once outside, the world itself reveals itself as a larger Cancer Space.
