[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A performance event that takes the time of Busan's Gijang-gun back to the old days has been prepared. The play "Latte-neun Mariya" will be performed for two days on October 10 and 11 at Andersen Theater.

The performance, selected as part of the 2022 Busan City Cultural Enjoyment Support Project for the culturally marginalized, is an original play that tells the story of the elder generation who overcame the hardships of the industrialization era and led Korea to become a "prosperous Republic of Korea."

The play "Latte-neun Mariya" was planned to convey consolation and gratitude to our fathers and mothers who live by comforting themselves about the unfairness of desires erased by poverty and the regret of never dreaming of self-development.

A photo exhibition showcasing the old appearance of Gijang will also be held in the lobby of Andersen Theater. On the second day, October 11, there will be a storytelling session where elders take the microphone and share a piece of their life saying, "When I was young..."

The performances will be held at 2 p.m. on October 10 and 11, and reservations can be made from 10 a.m. on October 4 through the Andersen Theater website. The performance is open to elementary school students and older, and admission is free.

For more detailed information about the performance, inquiries can be made at Andersen Theater or through their website.

A Gijang-gun official said, "We hope that visitors will enjoy this performance holding hands with their parents and children, and that it will be an opportunity for three generations to explore the stories of our parents' generation together."
