CJ Nanum Foundation Conducts Audience Sharing for 'Taiyang-ui Seokeoseu Ruchia'

Over 800 Children from Culturally Marginalized Area Child Centers Invited

CJ Nanum Foundation announced on the 25th that it invited over 800 children and adolescents from regional children's centers nationwide to the 'Cirque du Soleil LUZIA' performance, in collaboration with the production company Mast International, sharing seats with the audience.

CJ Nanum Foundation is conducting various cultural social contribution activities for children and adolescents through the sharing platform CJ Donors Camp, so that all children and adolescents can grow up healthily with equal opportunities without being marginalized. Among them, through seat sharing utilizing CJ's cultural industry resources, more than 160,000 children have visited cultural facilities such as theaters and performance halls up to last year.

In island and mountainous areas, cultural facilities are significantly lacking, making it difficult for children to experience rich cultural activities. CJ Nanum Foundation has provided opportunities for children from these culturally marginalized areas and multicultural backgrounds to watch stage performances.

Cirque du Soleil's LUZIA, a world-renowned art circus group, is the first Cirque du Soleil production to be unveiled in Korea, achieving the highest pre-sale record in the shortest period in its history of visiting Korea. Even before the opening, it boasted explosive popularity, surpassing 15 billion KRW in sales through advance bookings.

Cirque du Soleil, which started in 1984 in Quebec, Canada with 20 street artists, is now the world's largest entertainment company with nearly 4,500 employees, including 1,500 artists from 70 countries. The cumulative audience to date has reached 365.99 million.

A CJ Nanum Foundation official said, “With the cooperation of Mast International, we were able to present a world-famous performance to many children who usually have difficulty experiencing culture, gifting them a new experience,” and added, “We plan to continue various cultural social contribution activities so that all children can dream through culture.”
