<Scene from the 8th Changgeuk Performance "Cheong">
The 58th regular performance of the Jeonbuk Provincial Government's Changgeukdan, titled "Cheong," will be held on the 18th at 7:30 p.m. and on the 19th at 3 p.m. at the Moak Hall of the Korea Sound Culture Center.
The Changgeuk "Cheong" to be presented this time has sought various changes by removing the epithet of filial piety emphasized by the existing Simcheong.
The Changgeuk "Cheong" unfolds its story around the element of "road." Focusing on the three components of life, death, and rebirth in Simcheong's narrative, it depicts the transformation of appearing as an "ordinary human" in the first life, as a "self-sacrifice" in the second death, and as a "hero" who benefits the world through rebirth.
The performance consists of a total of 2 acts with 12 scenes. The first act, from Simcheong's birth to the moment she jumps into the sea accepting her fate, is composed of 6 scenes. The second act captures the moment of Simcheong's rebirth after throwing herself into the sea to meet her father, Sim Bongsa, creating an immersive experience that keeps the audience captivated.
The highlight of this performance is the scene where Simcheong falls into the water. Through 3D visual effects created by pre-recorded underwater filming, it was implemented in a three-dimensional manner. Additionally, the scene at the Dragon Palace was designed to maximize the reflection of light effects, creating an illusion of space-time throughout the Moak Hall.
Various visual effects and dynamic elements enhance the narrative of the work.
Kim Cha-kyung, the artistic director of the Changgeukdan, directly participated in the creation. For example, he added different lyrics to the deeply moving Sangyeo song to enhance its power, and also composed new choir music to match the theme.
The direction of composition for the rich music is also noticeable. By preserving traditional pansori techniques while incorporating Western harmonies, the new interpretations of the songs help the audience understand the dramatic situations.
Led by artistic director Kim Cha-kyung, the production team, including director Yang Soo-yeon and the nation's top stage, lighting, video, and costume design team, created the best stage.
The main roles are double-cast. On the 18th, Han Dan-young will play Simcheong, and Kim Do-hyun will play Sim Bongsa. On the 19th, Chae Jeong-won, a young member of the National Changgeukdan, will take on the role of Simcheong, while Lim Hyun-bin, the conductor of the Namwon City National Gugak Orchestra, will perform as Sim Bongsa.
Kim Cha-kyung, the artistic director of the Changgeukdan, stated, "I have experienced and seen countless Changgeuk performances based on the role of Simcheong and various Changgeuk works centered around Simcheong, but 'Cheong' has been completed as a more excellent work than any other." He added, "The individual skills, artistic qualities, and stage compositions of the members have perfectly come together in this performance, which will become a new model for future Changgeuk Simcheong."
