In Korea's Daehakro (a district known for theatrical culture), the rise of commercial performances has overshadowed experimental and original plays. To address this, theater festivals are highlighted as vital in sustaining experimental plays. The "Dandan Festival," a short-play festival noted for its experimental spirit, provides a platform for artists free from commercial pressures. Such festivals not only offer performance opportunities but also enhance diversity and artistic exchange within the theatrical community. Successful experimental plays like "Rendezvous" show potential demand, though stable financial support remains crucial for their sustainability.
