  • Introduce

    "Guerrilla Theater", the 2013 Seoul Theater Festival's winning film "Heegok Surge"
    It was written based on an anecdote from a South American theater director.

    The director directed the play to guerrillas from poor farming who did not even know the writing.
    Every time the director visits the jungle once a month, the number of guerrillas decreases little by little
    Finally, there are only two guerrillas left.
    Two guerrillas asked the director if he could make a two-person play.

    The director asked.
    "What's the use of a play in this hellish reality?"
    Two guerrillas said.
    "What if there's no play in this hellish reality?"

    These coward guerrillas who don't fit into a fight
    through the play, they can become brave guerrillas
    They wanted to tell their story.

  • Information

    The play "Guerrilla Theater" is a play that was elected in the 2013 Seoul Theater Festival "Heegok Surge" contest. "Heegok Surge" is a project that was started in 2007 to discover outstanding creative plays. "Guerrilla Theater" was only one work selected that year, and soon after that, it was selected as an official participant in the Seoul Theater Festival.

  •   Synopsis

    This is a jungle in a forest!
    Guerrillas with all they have is a wooden gun 
    I'm training to fight in my imagination with a plane I've never seen before.
    At that moment, a real plane appears above the sky with a huge roar.
    Guerrillas who see real planes freeze on the spot at that moment.
    After a while, countless bells are scattered from the sky.
    The villagers in the forest who read the propaganda
    Strangely enough, they are becoming less and less helpful to the guerrillas. 
    The guerrillas feel that they also need weapons to fight off the pira
    Start preparing a play that will convince the villagers for the first time in their lives!
