The immersive theater production 'Sleep No More', a renowned global phenomenon, has made its way to Korea. Staged at the newly transformed Mckitan Hotel (formerly Daehan Cinema), the play is a non-verbal rendition of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' set in the 1930s, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's suspense films. Audience members don masks and explore over 100 rooms in a 7-story building, engaging actively in the narrative. This production, backed by the largest budget in Korean theater history at 25 billion won, represents the burgeoning trend of immersive theater, shifting the paradigm from 'watching theater' to 'experiencing theater'. 'Sleep No More' enjoys a history of success in London, New York, and Shanghai, and its arrival in Seoul is anticipated to set a new standard in immersive performance art.
