– Program
* The show has closed. This original musical is set during the transition from silent to sound films. As technology advances reshape the era, the very identity of acting as a profession is called into question, and two actors face both crisis and opportunity through their diverging choices and conflicts.
The story follows the contrasting fates of Jerome and Keith, two friends who once shared dreams of becoming actors at a place called “Gray House.” Jerome, traumatized in childhood and afraid to speak, rises to fame as a silent film star where dialogue isn’t required. Keith, blessed with natural talent, becomes one of the greatest actors on the theatrical stage. But with the advent of sound in cinema, Jerome’s career begins to falter, and Keith makes a risky choice: to lend his voice to his voiceless friend.
This work explores how friendship and artistic belief are tested and fractured by the tides of change. Through a play-within-a-play structure that shifts between past and present, it casts the question: what does it mean to preserve one’s identity in a rapidly changing world?

Marronnier Park was given its name due to the marronnier trees, or horse chestnut trees, growing within the area. The location where Seoul National University’s College of Liberal Arts & Science and School of Law once stood, it is now a park dedicated to culture and arts open to the public. In addition to a variety of outdoor performances that take place throughout the area, exhibitions and cultural centers create a romantic atmosphere unique to the park.

Opened on April 1, 1981, Arko Arts Theater’s mission statement is to “boost performance art, obtain performance space to promote its popularity among the public, and support stages to pure art organizations facing financial difficulties.” As the center of performance art, the theater also began to attract a slew of small theaters and has played a pivotal role in promoting performance art and populating Dongsung-dong with artists. The theater offers a large hall, small hall, multipurpose studio space, and practice room.

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.
