The creative musical tells the story of conflict and harmony experienced by Ara, a second-generation Mongolian multicultural family, Chimin, an immigrant child from Vietnam, teacher Karajan, who only insists on classical music, and Youngsuk, an honor student who knows nothing but competition, while preparing for the National Music Competition together. deal with Through the work, the civic consciousness and attitude that should be possessed in a multicultural society are naturally educated through performances.

In the music room, which became the main stage of the work, actors actually played instruments from various countries, and the process of creating a piece was naturally included in the performance. The theme song, the Vietnamese folk song ‘Beo dat may troi’ and traditional Vietnamese dance stimulate the sensibility of the audience.

Yeongdeungpo-gu is the place where migrants live most densely among the autonomous districts of Seoul. This is why Salad is holding this performance at Yeongdeungpo Art Hall with Yeongdeungpo-gu Office. A musical album ‘Ara and Jimin’ was also issued to coincide with the musical performance.

창작 뮤지컬 <아라와 찌민>은 몽골 다문화가정 2세 아라와 베트남 출신 중도입국 자녀 찌민, 클래식만 고집하는 카라얀 선생님과 경쟁에서 이길 생각 밖에 하지 못하는 우등생 영숙이 전국음악경진대회를 함께 준비하면서 겪는 갈등과 화합의 이야기를 통해 다문화 사회에서 갖춰야 할 시민의식과 태도를 공연을 통해 자연스럽게 교육한다.

작품의 주 무대가 된 음악실에서 배우들이 실재로 다양한 나라의 악기로 함께 연주하게 되며, 연주곡을 만들어 가는 과정을 자연스럽게 공연에 담았다. 주제곡인 베트남 민요 ‘배오 잣 머이 쪼이’와 베트남 전통 춤은 관객들의 감수성을 자극한다. 

2015년 현재 한국에 거주하는 이주민의 수는 170만을 훌쩍 넘었다. 영등포구는 서울시 자치구 중 이주민이 가장 많이 밀집하여 거주하고 있는 공간. 샐러드가 영등포구청과 함께 영등포아트홀에서 이번 공연을 실시하는 이유다. 한편 본 공연에 맞춰 뮤지컬 앨범 ‘ 아라와 찌민’도 발매됐다.
