The Museum of Korea Immigration History in Incheon will host a talk concert titled ‘The Goryeo Theater in My Memory’ in conjunction with the special exhibition ‘Shine, Goryeo Theater’ to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the Goryeo immigrants’ arrival and the relocation of the Overseas Koreans Foundation to Incheon.

The talk concert, ‘The Goryeo Theater in My Memory,’ will be linked to the ‘Shine, Goryeo Theater’ exhibition. The event will feature Viktor Moon, the former head of the Goryeo Theater's art department, who will take the audience back in time to share stories of the theater, its stage, performances, and the people from over 50 years ago, while also introducing his artistic world.
