The Seoul Metropolitan Theatre's director, Ko Sun-woong, presents 'Ghost,' a new play after 14 years, inviting audiences to reflect on themselves as if looking into a mirror. Influenced by an article on nameless dead (individuals without family connections to claim their bodies), Ko blends humor with deep sadness, crafting a unique theatrical experience. This meta-theatrical play allows actors to break their roles, reminding viewers of life's theatrical nature, often juxtaposing comedy and tragedy. 'Ghost' challenges audiences to reflect on their identity and life roles, highlighting societal issues like the increasing number of unclaimed deceased. Performances run at Seoul's Sejong Center until the 22nd, priced 40,000 to 50,000 won ($40-50).
