Biography
Hotel Splendid's biography
Though the Cho-In Theatre Company has never used words before in its works, this play uses the words of the American poet and playwrighter who, with passion and poetry, tells the story of 200,000 women–most of them Korean–who were taken prisoners as sexual slaves by the Japanese army during World War II. This play is a tribute to all these women who, still today, want to be recognized and need to tell the world all the atrocities they have lived.
