PNO (Prepared New Objects)

PNO (Prepared New Objects) is a contemporary music performance and experimental theater piece born from a sociological exploration and reflection on the piano.

The work intricately examines the complex network of relationships surrounding the piano—an instrument that has shaped and been shaped by human history since its invention. It revisits the rise and fall of the piano in Korea, which arrived in 1900, through the shared memory of “playing the piano.” The performance deconstructs the piano both physically and conceptually, showcasing the process of creating a new instrument, “P.N.O,” from its elements.
