‘The Rain’ deals with the difficult and delicate issue of ‘comfort women’ in wartime. Through a monologue we follow the fate of a young Korean girl who was still a teenager at the time of her kidnapping. We are led through the landscape by her voice. She tells her intimate stories, full of poetic and cruel memories. The text is based on the testimony of the victims of sexual slavery. They were Korean, Chinese, Philippino, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian and Indonesian. The project pays homage to these women.
