MOLKA is a debut production from the duo Taeyun Kim and Maja Laskowska. The multidisciplinary performance created in collaboration with movement director Miia Mäkilä, is a powerful commentary on the rise of spycam crimes in South Korea and globally. Crimes which predominantly target women. Merging collaborative writing, personal stories and archival materials, MOLKA tells a story of women who are notoriously disregarded in a fight against their right to privacy. Why are these crimes happening? In a world of prolific gender inequality practices, can women talk about their experiences? Yes. MOLKA is about talking about it all.

“The movement direction from Miia Mäkilä is indisputably dynamic”
“Built alongside movement director Miia Mäkilä, it features a heavily physical narrative. A symbol-laden direction is integrated within lyrical, poetic imagery”
Taeyun Kim - Performer
“Miia is great at understanding the state in which the performers are in and how to translate that into choreography so text and movement become naturally whole.”
