Yujin’s peaceful life is, again, disrupted when Taeri unexpectedly shows up at their house. The unwelcomed return of the worst suitemate reignites arguments and tensions within the household. Yujin finds herself increasingly frustrated by Taeri’s incessant noisy work, prompting her to seek revenge and help. Just when it seems it is impossible for them to reach a compromise and coexist peacefully, they finally engage in a heartfelt conversation. Their bond strengthens as they navigate their shared living space.
Yeonshin Kim is an aspiring actor and theatermaker from South Korea, currently based in Dubai, UAE. She loves dancing and exploring movements, expanding her interest in creation as a generative artist. For her, theater is a space where actors allow themselves to have heart-to-heart interactions with the character and the audience. So she aims to convey her own humanity, interweaving with the characters’ story. Kim is passionate about making the feminist movement sustainable and tries to pose questions through theater, focusing on how one can be truly oneself. She received her BA in Theater from NYU Abu Dhabi and is planning to pursue an MFA in Acting at the University of Washington.
