Where The Wild Women Are

By Shawn Despres

The third installment of the popular Wild Women’s Performing Arts Festival takes place in Sinchon at Monghwan on Saturday, February 27. The event, which will include a wide array of musical, dance, and spoken word performances, aims to raise awareness about gender issues in Korea and around the world.

The previous two Wild Women’s Performing Arts Festivals were fantastic nights from start to end and Saturday’s fundraising show promises to be the same. Local Korean indie music highlights in the lineup include 3rd Line Butterfly, Oriental Lucy, a trio of acts from the Electric Muse imprint (Vidulgi Ooyoo, Orgeltanz, Dringe Augh), and one Electric Muse affiliate (Bigbabydriver, the solo project for sp from Electric Muse’s Atombook). I’m very curious to see if Dringe Augh plays up the fact that he is the only male-fronted act on the entire bill.

Tickets for the 3rd Wild Women’s Performing Arts Festival are 15,000 won at the door and the admission charge includes one free drink. All proceeds will be donated to the Korea Women’s Association United (KWAU) so try to work a stop at Monghwan into your Saturday itinerary and lend your support to this great cause.
