The Promise Kept by Light
빛으로 지켜낸 약속
An original play by Cultural Arts Workshop JB, built around the people who protected the Mokcheon edition of the Donggyeong Daejeon, the Donghak scripture printed in Mokcheon, Chungcheong Province, in 1883. The play moves between 1883 and 2024, interweaving the story of Gong Jin-deok, who sets out to protect the edition, with that of Tae-jun, a postman and stage actor who wants to bring this history to the stage. Through people who held on to their convictions and promises in turbulent times, it revisits the Donghak heritage of the Cheonan area and what community means today. Written by Kim Seong-bae, adapted and directed by Kim Jeong-seop. Free admission, with advance booking through Naver. Produced with the support of the Chungnam Culture and Tourism Foundation.
