– Program
Do you enjoy reading Agatha Christie’s mystery novels? Are you a huge fan of the animated series Detective Conan and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock? Then Shear Madness is for you. Since opening in Boston in 1980, it has held the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running show in American history. In Korea, it has topped the theater booking website every year since its first performance in 2015.
The beauty of Shear Madness is its immersion. It’s called “immersive theatre,” where the audience is not just on stage for a short time but is leading the play with the actors.
One day, a murder takes place upstairs in the Shear Madness beauty salon. The detective, who is undercover as a customer, suspects that the killer is one of the four people in the salon. But he can’t figure it out on his own. Like Watson, Sherlock Holmes’ best friend, the audience interrogates the characters in the play as the detective’s partner. The culprit is also “chosen” from those who receive the most votes from the audience. Of course, this is a comedy genre, consisting of gags and slapstick, and the ending changes every time, depending on the audience’s choice. You may get different impressions depending on who is to blame, so you can’t help but want to see it again.

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.
