A play I watched at the 2021 Seoul Theater Festival

I received an invitation to the encore performance this time,

so I headed to the theater.

Arrival at the theater

It was my first time visiting this theater, and they have staged many plays.

They also operate a library, so it is a good place to wait for the play.

Cast

It is a story about killers who work for a mysterious organization called Choi Sa.

Through the identity of the company that hires the killers, the play satirizes pro-Japanese collaborators who became the roots of our modern history,

and criticizes the prejudices of our society against minorities and the weak, such as the elderly and women.

It also features a chase through the city, scenes of snipers hitting their targets,

and various forms of gunfights, large and small props, video and sound effects, and dynamic movements.

Through these elements, the play aims to achieve a higher level of excitement.

The actors' high-level movements, achieved through rigorous training,

will provide audiences with an overwhelming spectacle of high-level stage aesthetics.

Curtain call

Although I have seen it once, I cannot hide my amazement at the stage sets and special effects.

A play that surprises you again and again with its story and stage art.

I recommend "No Country for Old Men and Women."
