Lee Hee-jun shared his thoughts on participating in ‘God of Carnage’.
On the afternoon of the 10th, a press call for the play ‘God of Carnage’ was held at the Freedom Theater of the Arts Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul. After a highlight performance, a Q&A session was held with director Kim Tae-hoon and actors Kim Sang-kyung, Min Young-ki, Jo Young-kyu, Shin Dong-mi, Lee Hee-jun, Lim Kang-hee, and Jeong Yeon.
‘God of Carnage’ is a work by playwright Yasmina Reza that humorously and incisively critiques the illusions of intellectuals, returning for its fifth season after five years.
Lee Hee-jun stated, “I’ve always been interested in the script, so when the offer came, I readily decided to take it. After performing, I feel even more that I made the right choice.”
As a founding member of the performance delivery service Ganda, Lee Hee-jun said, “I’ve been performing with Ganda for over 20 years, and even when other directors offered me roles, I was scared and couldn’t do it, but I took this on because it’s ‘God of Carnage’. Having done it, I think I should try performing outside of Ganda as well,” he joked.
He continued, “The story flows in a way that you can’t know how it will end. It’s a work that is filled with the performances of four actors, which makes it appealing,” expressing his anticipation for the production.
This performance features an entirely new cast. Min Young-ki, Jo Young-kyu, and Lim Kang-hee play the roles of Alain and Annette, the parents of the boy who was hit, while Kim Sang-kyung, Lee Hee-jun, Shin Dong-mi, and Jeong Yeon play the roles of Michel and Véronique, the parents of the boy who was hit.
‘God of Carnage’ will be performed at the Freedom Theater of the Arts Center until January 5 of next year.
