The National Aviation Museum, led by Director Ahn Tae Hyun, is set to present the barrier-free theater production Flying Man: Dreaming of the Sky. The play will run from November 30 to December 14 at the museum’s main auditorium, offering an accessible cultural experience for all, regardless of ability.
This innovative production aims to break down barriers for socially disadvantaged groups by incorporating universal accessibility features. Designed as a barrier-free performance, the play includes open sign language interpretation, subtitles, and audio descriptions to ensure inclusivity.
A key highlight of the production is the live sign language interpretation. A sign language interpreter will be present on stage, translating the actors’ dialogue and songs in real-time. Additionally, a narrator on stage will describe the actors’ movements and visual changes in the set, enhancing the experience for visually impaired audiences.
To further facilitate understanding, the production provides tactile models, braille guides, and lighted cues, along with subtitle-based explanations. These supplementary materials are designed to ensure that all audience members, regardless of their disabilities, can fully immerse themselves in the story.
Taking place in the National Aviation Museum’s grand auditorium, the play is open to everyone, emphasizing inclusivity and accessibility. It is a significant step in expanding cultural experiences to those with diverse needs.
Director Ahn Tae Hyun emphasized the broader significance of this initiative, stating, “This play provides valuable information and a sense of security to audiences with disabilities while offering non-disabled viewers a chance to reconsider their perceptions. We are committed to ensuring that everyone can enjoy aviation culture, continuing our efforts to walk alongside the socially disadvantaged.”
The production not only exemplifies a commitment to accessibility but also promotes the transformative power of theater. By integrating advanced accessibility tools and fostering understanding among diverse audiences, Flying Man: Dreaming of the Sky is a remarkable step toward inclusivity in the cultural space.
As the National Aviation Museum continues to lead by example, this barrier-free performance sets a precedent for making the arts more accessible to all, ensuring that no one is left behind in the enjoyment of cultural and educational opportunities.
