The play "Extra Chronicle" performed by the Green Pig Theater Company in Chuncheon, South Korea, explores acts of 'occupation' as a form of resistance from the Japanese Occupation era to the present. It depicts various stories connected through different historical contexts, such as a sergeant occupying a munitions depot during the Korean War, a student in a rooftop room, and activists protesting development. Despite the lack of a clear protagonist, the interconnected stories highlight the struggles of ordinary people and the complexities of labor movements, leaving audiences to ponder the societal responsibility of these resistances.
