‘About the Show’
Mungut and Gilnori
Mungut, which marks the beginning of the performance, means to open the door to welcome the gods and bring in good energy. The performance marks the beginning of the '2023 Namsangol Winter Solstice Festival and invites the audience to enter Namsangol Hanok Village.
Binari
'Binari' is a Korean word meaning 'to wish' and is a song that is sung on top of the rhythm of an object with wishes and ritual duties. It is sung on the occasion of the winter solstice to pray for the fulfillment of the audience's wishes and good fortune.
Pangut
Pangut is a multidisciplinary art that combines music and theater that was once practiced by professional tugboat groups. It shows the harmony and unity of the performers through various formations and spectacular movements. In the second half, the performers perform an individual play to showcase their best skills, and the performance concludes with a lion dance to protect the well-being of Namsangol Hanok Village and the bad luck of the audience.
‘About the show team’
Team Variety E-SEO
'Variety' means constantly changing without staying in one place, and four young performers gathered to make a variety of art. They want to make art that lives in the present through the creative succession of traditional arts without losing the roots and authenticity of traditional music. They have been invited to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Auckland Arts Festival to promote the value of Korean traditional performing arts and Ssunol not only in Korea but also around the world.
