Wanju Cultural Foundation, 2023 Professional Arts Creation Support Project Sharing

The play 'Gomul-eun Eopda,' which shows that life in old age is also valuable, returns to the people of Wanju with a more structured content, organized by the Wanju branch of the Korea Theater Association.

The play 'Gomul-eun Eopda' was selected for the 2023 Professional Arts Creation Support Project Re-support category by the Wanju Cultural Foundation (Chairman Yu Hee-tae) and has been recreated.

The work began with a single line from an internet news article about elderly people buying items from a traveling salesman, knowing the items were expensive. The traveling salesman casually said, "Better than indifferent children."

Jung Sang-sik, the director, said, "Through this play, I hope it becomes an opportunity to reflect on the lives of the elderly and to share the profound weight of aging together."

The play will be performed starting on the 3rd of next month at Bongdong Administrative Welfare Center, on the 4th at Gui Art Museum, on the 6th at Samnye Administrative Welfare Center, and on the 11th at Soyang-myeon Administrative Welfare Center.
