The immersive theater experience 'Sleep No More,' which revolutionized global performances, has arrived in Korea. Based on the tragedy 'Macbeth,' the production transforms a former multiplex cinema building into a fictional hotel, creating an immersive environment where audience members explore over 100 rooms and interact with the narrative, all while wearing masks. Produced by the Korean company Miss Jackson in collaboration with the original British troupe Punchdrunk, the production boasts a massive budget, making it the largest ever in Korean theater history. The play, employing a non-verbal storytelling approach, is praised for its multi-sensory environment that challenges traditional theater norms and is anticipated to influence Korean theater with its immersive techniques.
