The title Starry Night evokes a variety of associations. For many people around the world, the first thought is of Van Gogh’s famous painting The Starry Night. In Korea, those who grew up in the 1970s might hum the song In the Starry Night by singer Yoon Hang-ki. Additionally, it brings to mind the long-running radio show Starry Night, one of Korea’s most beloved programs, which began in 1969 and has been on the air for 55 years.
The play Starry Night brings all these references together at a campsite named “Starry Night.” The campsite’s owner, Cha Seon, is a former policeman. One day, the Grim Reaper, also named Mr. Cha, appears to him and grants him a one-month reprieve. During this time, Cha Seon and Mr. Cha meet various campers, whose dreams, loves, and lives resemble the lyrics of popular songs or something you might have heard on the radio. These are, in fact, stories that resonate with us all.
The play is described as a ‘camping play.’ From the very beginning, it features a scene of guitar playing and singing around a campfire. You can attend the theater as if you were going camping, enjoying the experience as if you were at a campsite, comforted by the stars in the night sky.

Korean Museum of Straw and Life is a private museum dedicated to the collection, research, and display of materials and historical accounts of diverse straws and their uses in Korea. As Koreans’ lifestyle in the past heavily depended on agriculture and cultivation of crops, straws and grasses were easily found and had many uses. The museum aims to educate the general public of how different straw were produced and used by Korean ancestors as well as their significance in connection with today’s lifestyle.

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.
