PPF, which marks its second anniversary this year, is the only physical theater festival in Korea, and it will meet audiences with more diverse programs this year following last year.
The opening performance on September 2 (Tue) will be performed by maimist Kim Sung-yeon, choreographer Sung An-young, and actor and PPF executive chairman Professor Baek Nam-young of Chung-Ang University.

On September 4th (Wednesday) and 5th (Thursday), PPF's members Park Ho-bin, Lee Joon-ho, and Baek In-geun, choreographers, will hold workshops based on their respective movement methods. The workshop results will be put on stage as a performance.
In particular, this year's festival will be visited by Thomas Stich, the artistic director of Germany's 『Full Spin International Physical Theater Festival" and Elizabeth Hofmann, the executive director. They will host and perform 'Mask Acting Workshop' with Professor Paik Nam-young, a domestic mask theater expert.

And the closing performance on September 7 (Sun) will feature a movement play 'Proof'. 'Proof' is a work that aims to prove that the text is 'Human', and actor Lee Ho-young, who is showing solid acting skills by appearing in the role of 'Shakespeare in Love' which is currently being performed, is drawing attention.
Chairman of the Executive Committee Paik Nam-young (Professor Chung-Ang University) said, `I hope that in the reality of the domestic performance industry, the 'Physical Performance Festival', which aims for various expression methods based on the actor's body, will be of little help.'
