01ABOUT

Old stories, told in a club

01Korean folktales walked into a club

Characters from Korean folklore — the Tiger, the Dokkaebi, Nolbu, the Nine-tailed Fox — tell their own stories through song and performance in a contemporary club setting.

Familiar figures are met in a new register, on a stage where traditional storytelling and a modern performance style are put together.

02Folktales reborn through EDM and performance

CLUB SEOLHWA reinterprets traditional folktales through contemporary music and performance — EDM, hip-hop and house.

Audience participation and character performance run together in a club-style show, and the whole room fills with the energy of a festival.

03An ending the audience makes

CLUB SEOLHWA is an interactive musical: the audience does not simply watch but takes part in where the story goes.

You hear each character out, and your choices complete the ending — which means a different ending is made at every performance.

02SYNOPSIS

A national vote is called

Find the most wronged being in five thousand years of stories from the Korean peninsula

The characters' appeals against how they were written have grown loud enough to disturb the heavens,

so at the club called Seolhwa, under the presiding eye of the Jade Emperor, a national vote is held.

Word spreads, and the candidates arrive.

Each lays out a pitiful, hard-done-by tale of their own.

Tonight, whoever is chosen as the most wronged is granted a feast of a salpuri rite,

and — the greatest prize of all — the story they appear in will be rewritten.

A parade of tales that leave you feeling oddly guilty for listening. So, now: what is your choice?
