Electricity Speaks

[Cast] ELECTROMAGNETISM (mother), TELEPHONE (ex-husband), ELECTRICITY,

SUNLIGHT (father), WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION (daughter)

This is a story about electricity, written in a playscript format. The scene starts with a monologue by electricity, where she explains how she enables humans to start their days but also moves the city of Busan to wake up and begin by putting energy into households, streets, buildings, bridges, etc. Her mother, Electromagnetism reminds her daughter that she was born before humans, so she shouldn’t put too much effort into them. Her daughter, wireless telecommunication, says she is suffering from rapid growth. In her childhood she lit the first lightbulb at Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul in 1887. Her ex-husband had an important job to save Kim Gu from execution. Now grown into a fundamental being, she makes humans long for more energy, more electricity, and

faster development. The story ends with a conversation with her father, sunlight, that she will make sure that humans will crave her more.
