Synopsis

Korean words and Korean movement, new methods of interpretation, Korean version of Romeo and Juliet. On their wedding night, playing hide and seek under a big blanket, a bustling banquet makes a racket with dishes and bowls, a small drum and lantern dance, full of Korean transitional 'mise-en-scéne’ uses five-color fabrics and props that cover the \stage. Like the plaintive humming of a funeral ceremony, exuding music with traditional rhythms and tempos to revitalize the Korean identity. This production offers plenty of things to see, and demonstrates the aesthetic of traditional Korean theater.
