The theatre play titled 'Two Women of Paris' commemorates the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation, featuring pioneering Korean female painter and independence activist Na Hye-seok. This unique collaboration involves artists from Korea, Russia, and Kazakhstan, exploring themes of identity and solidarity beyond ethnic boundaries. Set in a Paris garden in the 1940s, the story delicately intertwines the lives of two women, Na Hye-seok and a character from Russian literature, navigating through historical upheavals and personal challenges. The play highlights 'Diaspora Koreans' in Primorsky Krai (a region in the Russian Far East) who fought for independence alongside Kazakhstan comrades, illustrating hope and unity amidst strife and displacement.
