Seongji Maeul is a village on the verge of being flooded by a dam. Kim Yeong-ho, who left his home at 17, returns after a long absence and murders eight villagers connected to his past. Dr. K, a psychiatrist, counsels Yeong-ho and tries to uncover his motive: is he a criminal, or is he mentally ill?

The setting, reminiscent of several films, is far from light-hearted. However, it draws the audience in with the gripping intensity of the thriller genre. As you follow Yeong-ho through his past, you enter a village frozen in time: his mother, known as ‘Miss Kim’; his brother, who died in a fire; and the people of the clan village, most of whom are relatives. Along the way, Dr. K discovers a startling truth from Yeong-ho.

As the play unfolds, the audience pieces together the events from their own perspectives. What is the reason for the murders? Are Yeong-ho’s words true? In this way, the play confronts the darkness that lies within us all. In the end, it is up to the audience to determine the truth. Small Mythology, the theater company behind The Accidental Murderer, is a creative theater community now in its 38th year. It has been at the forefront of the Korean theater scene with its ‘Make Our Own Theater’ project.

Hakrim has been in business since its first opening in 1956. It is a special place that has shared its history with the people involved in arts such as theater and dance and intellectuals from nearby universities who flocked to the café after liberation and the Korean War. There is a sign saying “Seoul Future Heritage” hanging at the entrance that demonstrates its historical value. Visitors can observe traces of the past from mementos of people who stopped by, including graffiti on the wall and photos of prominent writers of the time. The café became even more famous as it was used as a filming location for several dramas, including “My Love from the Star (2013)” and “Reply 1988 (2015).” The signature menu here is Vienna coffee and cream cheesecake, which is topped with cute illustrations.

Daehakro Arts Theater is a venue for performing arts that is comprised of a main hall and small hall. The main hall fills the first and second floors and has a proscenium stage with seating arranged in fan-shape. In an effort to present a more contemporary theater experience, the seats here are placed closer to the stage than those of a standard theater, allowing the audience to experience performances more vividly.
