1991년에 발표한 이강백의 희곡이다. 작품은 설화적 이야기와 현재 이야기가 교차하는 구조로 이루어져 있다. 정치, 종교, 에술 등에서 다루는 존재에 관한 문제를 '어머니 찾기'서사를 통해 제기하며 동시에 인간의 본질을 탐구하는 과정을 기록하고 있다.

Published in 1991, this play by Lee Kang-baek alternates between folktales and stories from contemporary Korean society. Under the overarching theme of mothers and maternal sacrifice, the play delves into human nature from different perspectives—politics, religion, and art.
