Seoul Arts Troupe's 'Along with the Gods' Taiwan Performance Canceled... Domestic Performance of the Afterlife Chapter Scheduled for October

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The Seoul Arts Troupe announced on the 16th that it will cancel the Taiwan performances of 'Along with the Gods_The Afterlife' and 'Along with the Gods_The Present' due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Seoul Arts Troupe was scheduled to perform 'Along with the Gods_The Afterlife' on May 16-17 and 'Along with the Gods_The Present' on May 30-31 at the Wei Wu Ying National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Wei Wu Ying) in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, upon invitation from Wei Wu Ying.

Wei Wu Ying Artistic Director Wen Pin Chiang stated, "As COVID-19 spreads worldwide, the Taiwan Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) has been enforcing a 14-day home quarantine for foreigners entering Taiwan from Korea since February 25." He added, "After careful consideration of the infectious disease prevention measures and restrictions on international travel, we have made the difficult decision to postpone all performances of 'Along with the Gods_The Afterlife' and 'Along with the Gods_The Present'." He expressed his regret over the situation.

The 'Along with the Gods' series was the first overseas musical production to be performed at Wei Wu Ying and had attracted significant local interest, with pre-sale tickets reaching nearly 70%. The Seoul Arts Troupe stated that they plan to renegotiate with Wei Wu Ying to reschedule the performances after 2021.

Meanwhile, the Seoul Arts Troupe announced plans to hold the domestic performances of 'Along with the Gods_The Afterlife' in October at the LG Arts Center, changing both the schedule and venue. Originally, the domestic performance of 'Along with the Gods_The Afterlife' was set to open on the 25th at the CJ Towol Theater in the Seoul Arts Center.

Due to the postponement of the domestic performance of 'Along with the Gods_The Afterlife' from March to October, the 'Navillera' performance originally scheduled for October has been canceled.
