A Guitar in the BucketA Guitar in the Bucket

A society where vending machines sell all necessities of life. Homes, companions, and even dogs can be purchased and ‘used’ by vending machines. The main character ‘I’ plans to live in a music city by collecting 10 coins while playing the guitar. However, to collect 10 coins, he must gain various experiences, but coins are needed to gain each experience. A society where you have to give up your dreams and collect coins to achieve your dreams. It is a precise metaphor of our present life. Characters wandering with a small bag without any fixed residence look dreary. These scenes remind us of ordinary people worrying about moving due to expiration of every rental contract, the ‘address’ is not only a fantasy but also a one-off thing. In this sense, we are all diaspora. This harsh landscape, where even the laughter must be purchased with coins, becomes humorous fable to the audience with a rough and thick expressions.
