Myeongdong Theater in Seoul stages free lunchtime performances

The National Theater Company of Korea is set to introduce a new outdoor lunchtime series at Myeongdong Theater in Seoul. The program, named "Myeongdong Theater at Noon," will feature 10 free performances every Wednesday from August 19th to October 28th. The initiative aims to make art more accessible to the public by presenting short shows during an hour when most people are free, rather than requiring them to visit a traditional theater venue.

No reservations are necessary to attend the events. The lineup includes experienced artists and groups specializing in outdoor festivals and street theater, such as the Bongsan Mask Dance Preservation Society, Yeonhui Jeomchuri, and Yeonhui Group The Gwangdae. Additionally, Project Tong, known for movement-based physical theater, and Theater Asura will also participate in the series.
