Introduction
![](/resources/upload/1769/783vps370vm8k0s.png)
has organized “moments of excitement” with the outdoor theater festival.
To commemorate the 44th anniversary of the May 18th Democratic Uprising,
a series of outdoor theaters themed around democracy, human rights, and peace will gather from all over the country at the ACC Yeolin Madang
to showcase the tumultuous events of democratization that were passing the point of inflection in history.
Starting with “Cheonmyeong, Changmu ,” a grassroots story of 1894 Donghak Peasant Revolution,
followed by “My Hometown Across the Sea,” which remembers and tells the scars of Jeju uprising in 1947–1948,
“Food Stall in October,” which narrates the era from Busan–Masan Uprising to the May 18th Democratic Uprising in Gwangju in 1970–1980, and
“Oh! Geumnam Restaurant,” which transforms the spirit of the Gwangju Uprising into art,
these four performances will offer the audience special and impressive moments by delivering the story of historical events carved in the memories of time.
At 17:18, after “Marching for Our Beloved” resonates from the clock tower in the May 18 Democracy Square,
the fervor of democratization will meet the audience in the boundless yard.

Tae-sam, Ok-hee, and Chun-sam, who grew up together in Hagui-ri, Aewol-myeon in Jeju, were building up a friendship, calling themselves a trio. However, because of arrest warrants issued after the commemorative rally for the 28th anniversary of March 1st Movement and the fervor against the May 10th Election, Tae-sam and Chun-sam chose to hide, while Ok-hee became a liaison. However, Tae-sam, whose life should be filled with dreams and hopes, tragically died during the battle at Uigwi Elementary School, leading to a separation between the three. As time passes, facing impending death, Chun-sam finally encounters the grave of his dearly missed friend, Tae-sam.
