[서초문화재단] 2026 서울어텀페스타 선정작 [숨비소리, 해녀들의 노래]

This immersive musical theater piece interweaves AI technology with human voice to trace a daughter's journey through her haenyeo mother's prayers and memories, reconnecting with an increasingly polluted sea. The actress's live voice blends with traditional diving sounds as AI conjures oceanic visuals and audio textures. Spectators, each holding a heartfelt wish for the ocean, pause together in a shared ceremonial moment. A deeply personal story transforms into a collective ritual exploring ecological restoration and intergenerational memory.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site

1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.

💡 Good to know

When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
