Abstract
Huynhee Seo came to Canada in 1997, after spending fifteen years working in activist theatre with a group called Tobagi Theatre, based in the southwest of South Korea in Kwangju. In Kiang, a very unique project of community development had taken place, through an initiative called the Wildfire Night School. Several popular educators, brilliant intellectuals influenced by Paolo Freire, transformed communities of the poor. So in 1980, when the military government was installed, it was in Kwangju that there was community resistance. Initially a street theatre group as part of the community actions, the group formalized itself over time and became Tobagi Theatre. Tobagi Theatre toured in North America in 1994 and 1996. I spoke with Huynhee one late night in a Toronto kitchen about a crucial period of politics and culture both in her life and the life of South Korea.
