Watch Korean Culture and Arts Committee's Changjak Sansil Works at CGV
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The Korea Arts Council (Arts Council), the nation's top creative platform, is bringing this year's new works from the Performing Arts Creation Studio to movie theaters. The Arts Council and CGV are presenting 'Arko Live (ARKO LIVE),' an exclusive screening of outstanding domestic premiere creations at CGV theaters until the end of May.
Arko Live is a project newly initiated by the Arts Council to revitalize regional performing arts content, which was formalized after the Arts Council and CGV signed a business agreement on December 12 last year.
This year, as a pilot project, four works from the 2019 Performing Arts Creation Studio's new works were selected. The selected works are the play The Woman Who Fixes Chairs, the dance piece Hit & Run, the traditional art Wanchang Pansori Project 2: Gangsanje Sugungga, and the original musical Antemosa.
Among these, Antemosa and the traditional art Wanchang Pansori Project 2: Gangsanje Sugungga premiered on March 25 and successfully completed their screenings. Antemosa will be re-released on the 29th and can be viewed until June 5 at 12 CGV theaters nationwide (Gangneung, Gwangju Terminal, Daejeon, Dongdaemun, Bucheon, Seomyeon, Suncheon Shindae, Yongsan I'Park Mall, Ulsan Jinjang). The dance piece Hit & Run and the play The Woman Who Fixes Chairs are scheduled to open at nine theaters nationwide on May 6 and 20, respectively.
The newly introduced Arko Live by the Arts Council is a project planned by benchmarking the National Theatre of England's NT Live. It focuses on introducing experimental and promising purely domestic premiere works to regional audiences through high-quality video productions of excellent performing arts content centered in the metropolitan area.
