: Latif Abubakar and Korean Embassy Launch ‘Sim Majorley’ Theatre Show as Headliner for 2025 Korean Cultural Festival

Accra, Ghana —
The world of Ghanaian theatre is set for another cultural milestone as celebrated playwright and producer Latif Abubakar teams up with the Korean Embassy in Ghana to launch Sim Majorley, a comedic stage play that will headline this year’s Korean Cultural Festival.

The official launch took place in Accra with representatives from both the Ghanaian creative industry and the Korean diplomatic mission in attendance. The play, which features a satirical yet educational narrative, seeks to promote cultural understanding, cooperation, and humor as a universal language.

“We’re proud to present Sim Majorley not just as entertainment, but as a bridge between two cultures,” said Latif Abubakar at the unveiling. “It’s about embracing our differences, laughing together, and learning from one another.”

About the Play – Sim Majorley

Sim Majorley tells the story of a mischievous Ghanaian man who unexpectedly finds himself in a Korean household, navigating language barriers, contrasting traditions, and comical cultural misunderstandings. The play combines local dialects, Korean expressions, and musical elements, making it a truly immersive and bilingual experience.

“Theatre has a unique power to teach and connect,” said Korea’s Ambassador to Ghana, Jung-Taek Lim. “We believe this production will help deepen the friendship between Ghana and Korea while giving audiences a memorable artistic experience.”

Headline Act of the 2025 Korean Cultural Festival

As the flagship event for the 2025 Korean Cultural Festival, Sim Majorley will be staged at the National Theatre of Ghana from July 25–27, 2025. The festival will also include K-pop performances, traditional Korean cuisine expos, taekwondo displays, and Korean film screenings.

Tickets for Sim Majorley are already generating buzz across social media and theatre platforms, as fans of Abubakar’s previous works like Thank God for Idiots and Something Must Kill a Man anticipate another classic blend of comedy and societal commentary.

Latif Abubakar’s Legacy of Collaboration

Latif Abubakar has a history of producing impactful plays in partnership with embassies, international NGOs, and corporate bodies. His use of theatre for public education on topics like road safety, mental health, and domestic violence has earned him multiple accolades.

His collaboration with the Korean Embassy follows years of bilateral cultural exchanges, and both parties hinted at the possibility of taking Sim Majorley on a West African tour following the Accra premiere.

As anticipation builds, Sim Majorley promises not just laughter but a celebration of diversity, creativity, and global friendship.
