The National Theater Company of Korea is set to introduce a new outdoor lunchtime performance series at Seoul's Myeongdong Theater, beginning this month. The program, named "Myeongdong Theater at Noon," will offer free shows on Wednesdays from August 19 to October 28, spanning a total of 10 performances. The initiative aims to make theater more accessible to the public by hosting short, engaging shows during a typically free hour of the day, instead of requiring patrons to visit a traditional theater venue.
Attendees do not need to make reservations in advance. The lineup will feature veteran artists and groups with experience in outdoor festivals and street theater, including traditional mask dancing by the Bongsan Mask Dance Preservation Society, percussion and ribbon-hat dances by Yeonhui Jeomchuri and Yeonhui Group The Gwangdae, movement-based physical theater by Project Tong, and theater Asura.
