K-Cultural Show entitled ‘Two Loving Stars’

Co-organised by the Trung Vuong Theatre in Da Nang and the Uijeongbu Arts Centre in South Korea, the show tells the romantic story of 2 lovers living in different worlds.  They loved each other dearly until death tore them apart.  So deep and everlasting was their love that it touched the universe, which would place them among the constellations in the sky and arrange their reunion every year on a bridge named O Thuoc.

The musical will feature interesting performances by well-known South Korean actors/actresses and singers, with K-pop vibes.  Also, the event will show off contemporary dances, traditional folk dances, martial arts, and magic.

The 3 shows are: 8.00pm on 22 and 23 June and 2.00pm on 24 June
