The play 'Human' by 'Beggars Company' is part of a trilogy exploring themes of national power, premiering at Ujeon Small Theater from May 16-18. It depicts the story of Seokman and Jungwoo, friends from university celebrating Jungwoo's military discharge. The plot unveils hidden realities from the past using symbolic representations from Korea's recent history, inspired by military rules of the 1980s. Future works in the trilogy include 'Tiger Catcher' in August and 'Young Girls' in October. This two-person play features actors Seok Minho and Lee Wooram. The company, established in 2012, focuses on resisting societal injustices through experimental theater methods. The performances are scheduled for evenings and afternoons at a ticket price of 30,000 KRW, restricted to audiences aged 19 and above.
