On the journey of life, we form relationships with many people. There are people who give unconditionally and encourage growth, while there are also people who conflict and ultimately lead to destruction. We introduce four musicals that reflect on the color of relationships in different ways. In these green days, there is also a dinosaur exhibition that children can enjoy.

A creative musical depicting the life of genius violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini. It intersects with the Inquisition in 1844, when Paganini’s son Achille sets out to restore his father’s honor, and Paris in 1836, when the opening of ‘Casino Paganini’ is denied and Paganini is cornered. Paganini, who was praised, cannot be buried in the church cemetery, saying he sold his soul to the devil, and Achille begins to testify for his father.
The free-spirited Paganini, the priest Lucio Amos who calls him a devil and pushes him to the edge of a cliff, Colin Bonnaire who uses Paganini’s talent and tries to steal his wealth, and Achilles who pours everything out for his father create tense tension and increase immersion. Actual violin playing takes up more than 50% of the running time and plays Paganini’s famous songs.

The role of Paganini was played by Hong Seok-ki and Hong Joo-chan of KoN. Lucio is played by Kim Kyung-soo, Yoon Hyeong-ryeol, and Baek In-tae. The role of Colin was played by Lee Jun-hyuk, Kim Jun-young, and Ki Se-joong, and the role of Achille was played by Park Jwa-heon, Lee Jun-woo, and Park Jun-hyung. Until June 2, at the National Museum of Korea Theater in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

This is a two-person play about author Virginia Woolf (real name Adeline Virginia Stephen) entering her novel and meeting Joshua Warren Smith.

She must complete the novel for Adeline to return to her original world, but the more she writes, the more she is plagued by nightmares… .

It makes us look at life head-on through Virginia Woolf’s sentences, which proved their existence through writing. The role of Adeline was played by Park Ran-ju, Joo Da-on, and Jeon Hye-joo. Joshua is played by Eun-oh Yoon, Ri-hyeon Kim, and Soon-jong Hwang. April 23 – July 14, Black Theater, Chungmu Arts Center, Jung-gu, Seoul.
