Universal Ballet’s Original Production on the road again

Shim Chung, < style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic" >a modern day classical masterpiece created for Universal Ballet has been staged more than 200 times at home and abroad and has sparked interest in many hearts in many places. As major newspapers around the world have praised its success, Shim Chung enjoys a growing endorsement from prestigious theaters the world over.

 

 

Shim Chung, a pillar of Universal Ballet’s repertory for more than 20 years 

Choreographer Adrienne Dellas and composer Kevin Barber Pickard teamed up to infuse traditional elegance into this classic ballet work. In preparation, they studied the history of Korea and took care in combining Korean cultural history with western classical ballet forms. This resulted in the creation of Shim Chung, a new level of performance blending traditional sentiment and modern artistry into one. The main story line is about Shim Chung’s devotion to her blind father and how heaven is moved to restore his eyesight. < style="mso-fareast-font-family: 굴림체; >In Korea, where family values are a deep and integral part of the culture, this kind of dedication to serve one’s parents is referred to as ‘Hyodo’, and is considered a great virtue.< style="mso-fareast-font-family: 굴림체; > The ballet Shim Chung, faithfully following the original story, accentuates the traditional virtue of filial piety in refined neoclassic

 

 

Updated with underwater video scenes

In 2010, Shim Chung was further developed with the addition of underwater video scenes.  For theaters with sufficient technical facilities, this upgraded version of the production will offer an extra treat to the dance audience.

Synopsis

 

Learning that an offering to the temple will allow her father to regain his sight, Shim Chung accepts a bag of gold coins from a Sea Captain, willingly agreeing to be thrown overboard to protect the captain’s ship from the furies of the Sea Dragon King.

After the ship’s captain takes her to the ship, a storm arises, and Shim Chung, offering a ritual dance and prayer, plunges into the sea to save the ship.

Under the sea, Shim Chung is welcomed warmly by the Sea Dragon King, who asks her to marry him and share his kingdom, but Shim Chung is longing to see her father, and pleads with the king to send her back.

  

Arriving back in her homeland, she finds favor with the Korean King, who marries her, but still happiness eludes her until she finds her blind father. Embracing her father, Shim Chung’s tears of joy fall on his face, and he miraculously regains

his sight.

"Evoking a Romantic Fantasy. Adding immeasurably to the splendor of the ballet: an array of costumes depicting the workaday, royal, dream and undersea worlds . “

< > “The women aim for lyricism and extended linearity, and the men for heroic strength.  It is unusual to see a male corps with such cohesion and cushioned power . . .”

< > “The sets were a visual feast: beautifully detailed backdrops of a village setting in Act 1 and royal court garden in Act 2, while the eye-popping underwater kingdom of the Sea Dragon king in Act 3 was magnificent, as were the brilliantly colored sea creature costumes. And the video projections used to create the raging sea during the storm scene were so effective you could almost smell the salt water.”
