Two weeks to go to the most anticipated and buzzworthy theatrical play of the year in Seoul City, Touching The Void (2022). The production is based on a book written by mountaineer Joe Simpson about his near-death experience in the 20,853-foot Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.

The bestselling book was turned into a documentary film by Kevin MacDonald in 2003 and adapted for stage play by David Greig in 2018. On May 13th, it was announced that it will be officially adapted for theater in South Korea, which will be directed by Kim Dong-yeon with nine (9) stage actors, including long-time theater actor Kim Seonho.

When asked what made him participate in the theater project, he shared that the theme of nature caught his attention as well as the lessons that the real-life story imparts and the cast he will perform with. Since the play is a mountaineering trek on a snowy weather, he worries about how it will look like on stage but believes in the creative effort of the whole production team and cast.

Nowadays, he likes to listen to the song entitled Tree by Car, The Garden, one of his favorite artists. The chorus part of the song says, “You’re like a dancing tree. The unshapely music inside is me. Next to you, my fears become lovable pictures. That’s all I need.” He mentions that he specifically likes the vocal style of the song and how it freely expresses the message, touching your heart.
