Changnyeong County to Host Planned Performance of Rural Migration Play "Coming Down Now"

Selected for Contest Project by Arts Management Support Center under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism

Changnyeong County, Gyeongsangnam-do announced on June 24 that the play "Coming Down Now," which centers on the theme of returning to farming and rural migration, will be staged at the Changnyeong Culture and Arts Center Grand Theater at 7 p.m. on July 16.

This performance is a planned production selected through a contest by the Arts Management Support Center under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and is intended to provide local residents with diverse opportunities to enjoy culture.

"Coming Down Now" is a musical play that humorously depicts the conflicts and harmony that can actually occur between local residents and newcomers in rural areas. Presented in a musical theater format with a variety of songs, choreography, and performances by distinctive actors, the play aims to convey its serious subject matter in an accessible and friendly way.

An official from Changnyeong County stated, "We hope this performance will serve as an opportunity to reflect warmly on the realities of rural areas facing the crisis of population decline, and that it will become a cultural venue where understanding and empathy between newcomers and local residents can grow."
