On February 15, the theater hosted the premiere of a choreographic performance featuring traditional and stylized Korean dance, with a special guest from the Republic of Korea—Mr. Choi Tae Seong!
“HARU | DAY” is a unique fusion of traditional and contemporary Korean dance, where each moment becomes a reflection of beauty, depth, and harmony—core elements of Korean art. The performance symbolizes the cycle of a single day (sutki) in human life, taking the audience through shifts in emotions, states, and the rhythms of nature.
Choreographers Behind the Performance:
- Choi Tae Seong – A distinguished master of Korean traditional art, Doctor of Hanyang University, Director of the Training Center at Jeonju University, and Deputy General Director of the Moonmo Ilmu Traditional Arts Center. A recipient of the Presidential Award for Traditional Music in Busan Dongnae, he brings the authentic essence of Korea’s cultural heritage to the performance.
- Anna Tsoi – Chief ballet master and choreographer of the Republican State Academic Korean Theater, known for her vivid, expressive choreography and emotionally compelling productions.
“HARU | DAY” is more than just a dance performance—it is movement transformed into philosophy, a reminder of time’s fleeting nature and the preciousness of every moment.
