The play takes place in Daehakro Arts Center, one of the Best Theaters in Korea.
Eunji Lim is coming to Daehakro in Hyehwa, Center of Theatre in Seoul, to join 'Eldest Daughters' as Sang-Gye, a critical role in the play. The play 'Eldest Daughters', originally written by Setsuko Shinoda, a Japanese Writer, tells a story about 'Care' between eldest daughters and mothers in the aging society of Radakh and Japan. The play takes place in Daehakro Arts Center, one of the Best Theaters in Korea. This story will resonate with Korean society where the elderly population is increasing rapidly, becoming a significant issue in Korean culture.
"Lim takes the stage as Sang-Gye who holds the principal key of the play, showing her charismatic and deep layered emotions and struggles. She will captivate audiences, showing another level of crafts with her versatile talents. She'll even stand as a puppeteer in the play," Jung Kim(Theatre Critic) said.
Sang-Gye lives in the town of Radakh with her family and neighborhood, and Yoriko(Jin-Kyung Lee), a doctor, comes to the village as a doctor. When the new medical system Yorkiko brought in from Japan scratches the problem of the town, Sang-Gye conflicts with the system she has believed in her whole life, and it makes her decide she must confront her, to protect what she trusts and the faith she and her loved one own.
"It is the story of how we are going to live together, build our society, protect our dignity as humans, and satisfy everyone's rights," Lim said. "I am so honored to be part of this production in Seoul, where we can give questions and contemplations of our society to Korean audiences, and I hope this story will broaden the stage internationally."
