Wando-gun Receives Great Response for Cultural Performances for Children and Families

Joint Promotion of the 'Bangbanggokgok Cultural Empathy Project' with the Korea Culture and Arts Center Association

[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] On the 24th, it was announced that the performance held as part of the ‘Bangbanggokgok Culture Sympathy’ project, co-hosted by Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do and the Korea Culture and Arts Center Association, is receiving great responses from residents.

The ‘Bangbanggokgok Culture Sympathy’ project aims to widely provide excellent performances by private art groups concentrated in the metropolitan area to county-level regions and culturally marginalized groups who have relatively fewer opportunities to enjoy such performances.

The county is investing a budget of about 100 million won, including 60 million won in national subsidies, to hold four free performances for families including children.

On the 19th, the musical ‘Alice in Wonderland (3D)’ was held at the Wando Culture and Arts Center, with about 300 family audience members attending the performance.

This performance presented Lewis Carroll’s original work with three-dimensional visuals, providing children with a time to develop imagination and creativity, and adults who came with children gave many positive reviews, saying they enjoyed the vivid content.

A county official said, “Children have not been able to fully enjoy cultural performances due to COVID-19, but with national funding support, we are preparing free performances, so we hope children experience diverse performances and create happy memories.”

Meanwhile, the county plans to hold the magic drawing show ‘Doodle Pop’ at 3 p.m. on November 16, the fairy tale concert ‘Growing Up’ at 3 p.m. on November 22, and the classical music fairy tale ‘The Magic Flute Story of Mozart and Mozzarella’ at 5 p.m. on December 9.
