The play "Encountering a Cat Around the Corner," which explores the loneliness of modern individuals with a sharp and delicate perspective, will welcome audiences at the Changjak Sogekjang for four days from the 9th to the 12th.
This performance is a selected work of the '2026 Performing Arts Support' project, driven by the Jeonju Cultural Foundation to encourage continuous creative activities of performing arts organizations. It is a piece by the theater group 'Mudaegiji,' which has presented meaningful stages in the past.
The play "Encountering a Cat Around the Corner" focuses on the disappearing 'alleyways' in today's world that compete for speed and efficiency. It sheds light on the alleyways as the foundation of life where the warmth of relationships between neighbors lingered, capturing various human characters who passed through those alleys in a sentimental play.
The work unfolds the stories of people the protagonist encounters in a strange alleyway she accidentally steps into, in an omnibus format. Through encounters with individuals with their own stories, such as those who fight under a wall every day, those searching for a lost puppy, and those preparing for a painful farewell, it densely portrays the loneliness felt by modern individuals.
This production features the talented playwright Kim Jung-sook, who also directs, along with skilled actors such as Pyeon Hoo, Baek Ho-young, Song Eun-joo, Jung Yoo-jin, Kim Kang-ok, Lee Jong-hwa, Lee Ji-hyun, Kang Jung-ho, and Ahn Hye-young, captivating the hearts of the audience.
The theater group 'Mudaegiji' (represented by Ahn Hye-young), since its establishment in 2007, has consistently put on works that lovingly look at the lives of ordinary citizens and communicate with the local community. "Encountering a Cat Around the Corner" was selected in the excellent repertoire category of this year's Jeonju Cultural Foundation's 'Performing Arts Support' after its premiere last year, recognizing its artistic and creative qualities.
A Jeonju Cultural Foundation official stated, "In a rapidly changing world where people feel isolation and loneliness, this play will be a story that resonates deeply with and empathizes with modern individuals," adding, "We hope the charm of small theater performances, where even the actors' breathing and facial expressions are vividly conveyed, will be enjoyed."
The ticket price is 20,000 won for all seats, and reservations and inquiries can be made through the 'Mudaegiji' KakaoTalk channel. More details about the performance can be found on the Jeonju Cultural Foundation website (www.jjcf.or.kr).
