Sara (noun): a woman’s name meaning “lady” or “princess” in Hebrew
Synopsis
One day, she wakes up in a hospital room. Everyone calls her Sara — Oh Sara, managing director of the asset-management firm Mira Asset and an influencer in the investment world. But her memory is faint. Confined to the room, she meets her husband Gu Seo-gwang, a politician awaiting his party’s nomination; her brother-in-law Gu Seo-hwan, who runs a fund; and her sister Mira, chair of Mira Asset — slowly recovering her memories and beginning to search for the reason she exists…
Power spreads like capillaries, controlling us in every corner of society. — Michel Foucault
About the production
A hospital room where individual life collides with modern power Set in a society where everything is watched, the play invites us to consider how capital — one of the modern forms of power — tries to control people.
What does it mean to be alive? It asks what it really means, in today’s society, to live — to be alive.
