Jeju Cultural Arts Foundation's 2024 Venue Residency Support Program: Repertoire Program
The work "Seolmundae Arirang" is the flagship production of HOHO PLUS, premiered in 2019, and reincarnated annually as a new series, establishing itself as a representative performance content of Jeju. Dance, theater, gestures, dialogue, Jeju language, sounds, and illustrations come together to open a new horizon in "Seolmundae Arirang."
The myth of Seolmundae Halmang was resurrected as a cosmic motherhood beyond death.
"Seolmundae Arirang 2024" embodies the message of "eternal love" bestowed by Seolmundae Halmang, encompassing a holistic art form.
In 2019, the "Seolmundae Arirang" performance began with the aim of developing performance content representing the island of Jeju, a global tourist destination.
It was created by reinterpreting the birth myth of Jeju Island, "Seolmundae Halmang and the Story of the Five Hundred Generals," breaking the boundaries of various artistic genres such as dance, theater, gestures, dialogue, Jeju sounds, and illustrations to create a holistic art play.
Through such artistic expressions and crossover activities, we aim to develop a sustainable cultural and artistic performance industry on Jeju Island. To this end, this year, Jeju residents participated in all aspects of the production and cast of the performance. Especially in 2024, being selected as a resident organization of the Jeju Culture and Arts Foundation, we are proud to present the performance at Seogwipo Kim Jung Culture Hall, making it a more meaningful year.
Seolmundae Halmang's youngest son, despairing at the unjust reality and his own incompetence, sets out resentfully to find his mother who gave birth to him. With the help of Harbang (Seolmundae Halmang's Husband), he meets Seolmundae Halmang.
However, Seolmundae Halmang appears in dirty clothes, filled with discarded trash from people. Angered by her son's weakened state, blaming the irresponsibility of the gods for not intervening in the human world, Seolmundae Halmang rebukes her son, saying that she trusted humans and gave them opportunities.
Harbang, feeling the vibrations of the heavens and earth, empathizes with Seolmundae Halmang's anger and comforts her. Calming down, Seolmundae Halmang shares the heart of the gods with her son, who asks,
In response to the son's earnest question, akin to our inquiries about today's life, what answer will Seolmundae Halmang give?

Members of HOHO PLUS, who appear as spirits of Seolmundae Halmang, consist of diverse groups such as women who have never experienced dance before, those whose careers have been interrupted due to marriage, childbirth, childcare, and young people exploring their careers. Through HOHO PLUS, we learn dance together, strive to promote "Jeju's Myth" to society, and aspire to spread courage and hope to many people in similar environments.
Although we may lack professional dance skills and efforts, the lofty spirit of Seolmundae Halmang, who created Jeju Island, and the passionate enthusiasm of Jeju women are enough to move your hearts through our performance.
Now, as the "Descendants of Seolmundae Halmang," we will go out to give birth to a new art of Jeju. Please join us.
