Hwaseong Culture Foundation Holds Family Performance Video Festival 2012

Hwaseong Culture Foundation (CEO Baek Dae-sik) will host the Hwaseong Family Performance Video Festival 2012 in May, the Month of Family, offering various programs for all families to enjoy together.

The performance video festival is characterized by its division into three main stories and features intergenerational programs tailored to different age groups.

Additionally, rather than being limited to a single genre, the festival comprises diverse works across three genres: theater, music, and film.

The first festival features four puppet stories for children: the award-winning children's tale puppet play 'Tiger Story,' the experiential exhibition 'Playing with Puppets' where children can directly manipulate and create puppets, the fantasy puppet play 'Astronaut' embarking on a space journey, and the fantasy drama 'Dalrae's Story' featuring a young protagonist Dalrae dreaming amid the horrors of war, to be performed in sequence.

The second festival presents two musical stories: 'Dream Concert,' a beautiful collaboration between the Hwaseong Boys and Girls Choir and Japan's dance prodigy Nagoya Studio Fitness, and 'A Soldier's Tale,' an innovative musical drama by 20th-century musical genius Stravinsky, celebrating his 120th birth anniversary this year.

Finally, the third festival, 'Film Stories,' features a variety of films that the entire family can enjoy.

A total of eight films will be screened. From April 4 to 6, films including 'The Artist,' 'Mr. Go and the Mischievous Kids,' 'The Prosecutor and the Female Teacher,' and 'Duresoori' were screened at Banseok Art Hall and Hwaseong Art Hall, followed by the screening of four additional films from May 11 to 13 at Banseok Art Hall.
