This performance has been organized to provide visitors to Sancheong during the summer vacation season with a unique cultural program that showcases the distinct attractions of Sancheong and offers a special way to enjoy Donguibogam Village.

In particular, to allow visitors to enjoy cultural activities while avoiding the daytime heat, the regular performance?which previously began at 2 p.m.?will now be held at 7 p.m. On August 2 and 3, the play will take place at the Donguibogam Village Theme Hall. The performance will feature the traditional play "Nammyeong" by the theater troupe Keundeul.

The play "Nammyeong" centers on the Joseon Dynasty scholar Jo Sik, also known as Nammyeong, who emphasized social justice through his learning and sought to purify his mind through scholarship. The theme of the play is the "Gyeongui Thought," which still resonates powerfully even after 500 years.

The spirit of Nammyeong?integrity, action, and the attitude of a learned person?is presented in a witty and lively manner through the unique imagination, humor, and satire characteristic of traditional outdoor plays.
