Underground

Overview

My knowledge of life in Korea is limited, but I have heard the Seoul is incredible: filled with unique youth culture, and an amazing nightlife. And for just a short time, without having to board a plane or even leave the city, Brisbane audiences can get a taste of Seoul through the new production Underground.

The last piece in the Metro Arts' The Independents 2011 program, Underground is a journey into a hidden ‘speakeasy’ in Seoul. Underground is actually a Korean junk bar that has been transported to Brisbane.

The décor is kitsch with lamps, party lights and televisions looping 70s Korean TV dramas. There is a ragtag band of musicians performing island style tunes, and setting the scene for a floor show of epic and exciting proportions.

Mixing live music, storytelling and amazing visuals, it will be a night of delights, exploring the underground, if you will, culture of one special city.
