According to the county on the 13th, Nara Ballet Theater's "Flight of the Heavenly Crane" is a creative modern ballet performance that reinterprets the ecological characteristics of the black crane, a natural monument of Yeosu Suncheon Bay, to promote the conservation of the natural ecosystem where humans and nature coexist.

This performance breaks the stereotypes of traditional ballet by featuring creative costumes made of thin fabric instead of typical ballet attire, and incorporates Eastern elements into ballet, which is strongly perceived as Western art, creating a new ballet performance that achieves a delicate harmony between East and West.

Male lead ballerino Yoon Jeon-il has performed as a principal dancer with the National Ballet Company and the Romanian National Opera Ballet Company. He is a leading star dancer in the domestic ballet scene, having won the gold medal in ballet at the 38th Dong-A Dance Competition and the championship in Mnet Dancing 9 Season 2.

Governor Kim San said, "We have prepared a ballet performance, which is usually difficult to experience, to provide various cultural and artistic performances to the residents. We hope many residents participate, enjoy the performance, and fully appreciate culture and the arts."

Tickets can be reserved through the Seungdal Culture and Arts Center website and by phone. The admission fee is 3,000 KRW, with a 50% discount for national veterans and persons with disabilities.

This performance is promoted as part of the '2023 Culture Empathy Project with Arts Centers Nationwide,' hosted by the Korea Culture and Arts Centers Association, organized by Muan-gun and Nara Ballet Theater, and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Arts Council.
