[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Sejong Center for the Performing Arts announced on the 3rd that the play Oasis will open.

Oasis is one of the works in the “Theater Troupe’s Perspective” project carried out by the Seoul City Theater Troupe since last year. The play is composed of a storyline that serves to lead us beyond the world we live in to encounter another world.

Seol Yujin, who wrote and directed the play, said, “Although technology, culture, and industry have developed, we are currently suffering from a sense of helplessness. I created this work with the hope that through theater, we could find an oasis, if not a utopia, in reality.”

Director Seol Yujin won the Doosan Yonkang Arts Award in 2021, and Hongpyeonggukjeon, for which she wrote the script and directed, was selected as one of the Best 7 Plays by Monthly Korean Theater in 2021, gaining attention.

Oasis features 11 actors including Hwang Soonmi, who won the Best Actress Award in the theater category at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards this year for Hongpyeonggukjeon, as well as Kwak Jisuk, Kim Bokyung, Kim Jubin, Park Mireu, Bae Seonhee, Yoo Daon, Joo Eunju, Choi Junghyun, Ha Youngmi, and Hwang Seonhwa, delivering passionate performances.

Oasis will be performed for 10 days until the 12th at the Sejong Center S Theater.
