The Korean theater production 'The Fall,' based on Albert Camus' novel, delves into themes of human hypocrisy and self-deception through a solo performance by actor Son Sang-kyu. The play, performed recently in Seoul, presents the story of Clamence, a Parisian lawyer confronting his moral failings after ignoring a drowning woman, revealing that his virtuous acts were often for show. The minimalistic stage design contrasts with the heavy existential questions it poses about altruism versus performative goodness. The production invites introspection while also lightening the mood with moments of laughter. 'The Fall' was part of a program by the National Theater Company to support private theater groups. If interested in more from this emerging theater group, consider their upcoming production 'Ghosts' in October at LG Arts Center in Korea.
