This excellent performance attraction follows Buk-gu's selection in March for the 'Cultural Sympathy Across the Country with Arts Centers' contest project hosted by the Korea Culture and Arts Centers Association.


Utilizing a budget of about 70 million KRW secured through the contest project, Buk-gu plans to invite public and private professional arts groups to present three high-quality excellent performances at the Buk-gu Culture Center.


On the 26th, the private arts group 'H Project,' founded in 2003 and holding numerous awards with over 20 original plays, will be invited to perform the play 'The Boy Delivering the Letter,' which depicts the growth story of a boy delivering letters during the Joseon Dynasty.


In October and November, the public cultural arts institution 'Chuncheon Cultural Foundation' will present the play 'Spring Has Come,' highlighting the 1990s filled with aspirations for freedom and democracy through the themes of youth and spring, and the brass quintet 'Brass Market,' composed of performers from the Korea National University of Arts, will perform the 'Cine Concert,' featuring highlights from Hans Zimmer and John Williams' film music.


Additionally, 112 seats, accounting for 30% of the total seating capacity, will be preferentially allocated to culturally marginalized groups such as the elderly who usually have limited access to performances, actively working to reduce the cultural life gap among residents.


Tickets can be checked and reserved through the Ticketlink website starting 30 days before each performance, and for more details, inquiries can be made at the Buk-gu Culture Center.



A Buk-gu official stated, "Besides this Cultural Sympathy Across the Country performance, the Buk-gu Culture Center plays a pivotal role in realizing universal cultural welfare for residents through various planned performances," adding, "We will continue to lower the barriers to the performance hall so that culturally considerate groups can experience more artistic performances."
