Synopsis
“A Haddangse signature comedy that captures both artistry and popular appeal in equal measure!"
Based on a real murder case that shook colonial-era Joseon in the 1930s, the production pays homage to the techniques of silent film — the popular culture of that era — to unfold human desire and power as a delightfully dark comedy.
On stage, one group of actors builds cinematic mise-en-scène in front of a screen, while another group simultaneously performs live sound effects and dubbing, combining story and sound in real time to create a film before the audience's eyes.
Characters racing headlong toward their desires swing between laughter and despair, reaching the very peak of irony, while the audience experiences the joyful immersion of feeling present at the making of a film.
Haddangse's signature vivid, inventive, and playful imagination invites the audience into a world of unpredictable theatrical play.
