The play 『Landebu" co-hosted by the Seoul Arts Center, the dug-rate show, and Yellow Bam will be performed at the Seoul Arts Center's Free Small Theater from April 5 to May 11. The performance, which has improved its completeness since its premiere at LG Art Center Seoul, is attracting attention for its innovative stage production and colorful casting that maximizes the spatial potential of free small theaters.
The role of Tae-seop, who locked himself in his own law to escape from painful memories, was named Park Sung-woong, an actor who successfully led the premiere by playing Tae-seop with different charms, and Choi Min-ho, an actor who is showing various charms by expanding the spectrum to the theater genre, starting with the play 「Waiting for Godot」. In addition, Park Geon-hyung, a 20-year veteran actor of the play 'Hamlet'Art'Taxi Driven'Full For Love' and the musical 'Chicago' was also joined as Tae-seop.
Ji-hee, who went on a journey to find herself but eventually returned to the place of the past that bothered her the most, will be played by actress Lee Soo-kyung, who is challenging the play for the first time, actor Kim Ha-ri, who was acclaimed for her solid acting skills in the play Rosetta, and newcomer Beom Do-ha. Beom Do-ha is an actor with solid basic skills who has gone through Seoul National University of the Arts, Chung-Ang University's Department of Theater and Film, and the Korean Film Academy, drawing attention for his delicate emotional expression and fresh charm. The viewing point is to see how actors with different personalities and charms will meet and create Tae-seop and Ji-hee in a new combination.
In addition, this performance will present a bold stage composition that maximizes the variable characteristics of the free small theater, a black box-type theater. It is a new attempt to overcome the spatial limits of the theater with an unconventional composition of placing audience seats on both sides around a long rectangular stage reminiscent of a fashion show runway. In particular, the treadmill installed on the stage is used as a unique device that physically embodies the psychological distance between the two characters, and only two actors on the stage lead the play for 100 minutes without leaving. Writer and director Kim Jung-han tried to express the love story and confrontation story of two men and women who get close and then move away again, but cannot easily close the distance with a straight mise-en-scène. The audience will experience a psychological confrontation between the two characters as if they were watching the game from both sides of the fencing stadium.

Director Kim Jung-han is one of the avant-garde directors who have performed a wide range of works in the United States and the United Kingdom, ranging from experimental plays to Shakespeare and commercial musicals. Director Kim Jung-han said "Just as we know where the moon is and we can't go, I think everyone has experienced trying to get close to someone but not being able to. In that sense, this work can be said to be a simple love story, a breakup story, and a consideration of life."
The performance depicts a special meeting between a scientist focusing on rocket development and a daughter of a jajangmyeon restaurant who finds freedom through dance. This work, which depicts two different people moving toward love against the physical law of gravity, is expected to give a deeper resonance in conjunction with the new attempts of the Free Small Theater.
