– Program
What happens behind the scenes of a theater stage? What is a day like in the life of actors who portray someone else’s story? Going to the End seeks to answer these questions.
The play follows three actors: Yeong-hyeon, who plays Hamlet and is weary of the same repertoire; Gyeong-gu, who lives and breathes for romance; and Junho, a newcomer who has just made his debut at Daehangno. Today marks the final performance of their theater troupe, but not a single audience member shows up, causing the play to be interrupted. As they tidy up the stage and share drinks, they express the struggles of life as actors. Suddenly, Junho returns with a group of audience members. The question now is, will they perform again or not? To be, or not to be—that is the question.
The antics of preparing a makeshift performance blend with the realistic, heartfelt conversations they have over drinks, evoking both laughter and emotion. The actors’ passion for the theater is palpable, but so is the pressure of survival. This mirrors not only the struggles of the actors but also the dissonance between dreams and reality that many of us experience. Perhaps this is why the audience empathizes with their situation and is eager to applaud.

ARKO Art Center was founded in 1974 as Misulhoegwan in a building of former Deoksu Hospital in Gwanhun-dong, Jongno-gu to offer much-needed exhibition space for artists and arts groups. In 1979, Misulhoegwan moved to its present building, designed by preeminent Korean architect Kim Swoo-geun (1931-1986) and located in Marronnier Park, the former site of Seoul National University. The two neighboring brick buildings accommodating ARKO Art Center and ARKO Arts Theater are the major landmarks of the district of Daehakro.

As more public and private museums and commercial galleries came into the art scene in the 1990s, Misulhoegwan shifted to curating and presenting its own exhibitions. Renamed as Marronnier Art Center in 2002, ARKO Art Center assumed a full-fledged art museum system and played an increasingly prominent role as a public arts organization leading the contemporary art paradigm. When The Korea Culture and Arts Foundation was reborn as Arts Council Korea, Marronnier Art Center became ARKO Art Center named after the abbreviation for Arts Council Korea in 2005.

ARKO Art Center is committed to working as a platform where research, production, exhibitions and the exchange of creative activities grow and develop in connection with one another in addition to having a diversity of programs including thematic exhibitions addressing social agenda and public programs widely promoting various discourses in art.
