Organization

SangSangMaru

SangSangMaru is a social venture company in the field of culture and arts for children and families that was established with the goal of being a 'cultural imagination group that touches the world with stories’.

As a professional performance production focusing on projects for children and families, the company has been dedicated to creating well-made original performance content. Based on endless creativity and challenging spirits, we were able to create a new history in the production of children's performances. Since its establishment, SangSnagMaru respects the universal humanities values of mankind and the diversity of race and culture, and creates works that dream of an environment and a world where humans, animals and plants can coexist. In addition, we plan, develop, and produce excellent children's performances through various international exchanges and cooperation with excellent art groups in Europe and Asia.

Project

'Troll's child' - Family Musical Workshops & Showcases

SangSangMaru conducts a Korea-Vietnam co-creation workshop for the family musical 'Troll's Child' with Youth Theatre of Vietnam. Through the joint workshop between Korea and Vietnam, the project aims to reinterpret the true meaning and value of modern families and to implement literary value on stage.

The creative musical project was developed based on the Swedish short story "Troll Child" by Selma Lagerlöf, the first female Nobel Prize winner who dealt with beautiful maternal love and love for life based on the troll legend in Northern Europe. While maintaining the literary value of the original work, the project aims to convey the message that true families or communities can be formed through efforts to accept and understand each other's differences.
