Actress Jeon Hye-jin returns with Korea's first one-person play 'Laios.'
On the 20th, her agency, Hodoo and You Entertainment, announced that Jeon Hye-jin has confirmed her appearance in the domestic premiere of the one-person play 'Anthropolis II – Laios' (written by Roland Schimmelpfennig and directed by Kim Soo-jung), which will be performed at the National Theater of Korea Myeongdong Theater from Nov. 6 to 22.
Jeon Hye-jin's return to the stage 'Laios' is the second work in Roland Schimmelpfennig's 'Anthropolis Quintet.' The 'Anthropolis Quintet' explores a tragedy from ancient Greek mythology based on the most famous founding myth in the history of European civilization, the Theban royal family.
'Laios,' in particular, is a one-person play where a single actor performs multiple roles with a polyphonic voice. Thus, 'Laios' is expected to provide an opportunity to witness Jeon Hye-jin's endless acting transformation as she seamlessly navigates various characters on stage.
'Laios' further raises expectations as it is a play chosen by Jeon Hye-jin, who has been recognized as an actress capable of both captivating and commercially successful character transformations based on her solid acting skills. This marks her return to the stage after nearly 10 years since her last appearance in the play 'Twenty-Somethings Chaimu – Tail Cotton Story' in 2015.
Jeon Hye-jin has continued to establish her irreplaceable position as an actress with a dynamic acting career after her debut. Recently, she garnered attention for her alluring villain character in the Netflix movie 'Cross,' while simultaneously portraying a relatable working mom wanting to excel in both work and parenting in the drama 'Mother and Mom,' resonating with viewers.
