지하 Underground | do we ever fall out of love?
“Underground was like a wild night out – the sort you recount proudly as a benchmark for variety, spontaneity, poignancy and fun.
…a group of disparate performers separate from the crowd and take you on a journey that defies stylistic convention and pisses in the mainstream.”
“It blurs the distinctions between love, gender and friendship, and does this with a gentle exuberance that builds through moments of heartbreak to a pounding anthem celebrating individual freedom.”

호기심이 이끄는 데로 따라오다 보면, 당신은 어느새 브리즈번의 잊혀진 구석에 자리잡은 한국의 바(Bar)지하 언더그라운드를 만나게 될 것입니다. 사장님과 주거니 받거니 술잔을 기울이다 보면, 바 종업원들로 구성된 오합지졸 밴드가 만들어내는 멋진 선율 속에 국경과 문화, 언어와 성性을 초월한 사랑 이야기가 펼쳐 집니다.
라이브 음악과 마법 같은 스토리 텔링이 뒤섞인 이 찰나의 세계는 연출가 제레미 나이덱의 상상으로 출발하여 마더보드 프로덕션이 선 보입니다. 잠시 여러분 자신을 이 세계에로 초대하신다면, 매 시간이 행복한 시간이 될 것입니다.
공연 후, 지하 Underground 바(Bar)에서는 특별한 친구들과 연인들의 특별한 공연들이 계속 이어 지며 바도 오픈되어 있습니다!
Let your curiosity guide you to 지하 Underground, a pop-up Korean speakeasy that has taken root in a forgotten corner of your city. Prepare to drink the night away with the venue’s eccentric proprietor, as a tale of love transcending culture, language and gender unfolds to rhythms created by his staff, a ragtag crew of musicians.
Every hour is happy hour as you allow yourself to indulge in a mix of live music and magical storytelling amidst a transitory world conceived by director Jeremy Neideck and presented by Motherboard Productions.
Post-show, 지하 Underground‘s bar stays open, bursting with performances by special friends and lovers.
