It was yet another fantastic opportunity from KTO to explore
the traditional Korean version of the opera, Unhyeon Palace Romance-2, presented
in a form of Pansori. Honestly speaking, in beginning it seemed a bit boring,
but it
get my attention after a few minutes. The story is presented my 6
talented performers and it reminds me the traditional storytellers of my
home
town who used to sit
in the moon lights to tell the stories of our forefathers
and brave people of our nation.

Every performer was a master in his/her field as they have
complete vocal commands
on playing their part. Subtitles were displayed on the
sides of the stage in many languages, but it was hard to look at the
translation as the wall surface was a bit
rough and it was difficult to catch all the words. However, the amazing skills
of the performers made I easy to understand with their verbal and nonverbal
communications. They presented the performance with lots of humor to make it
even more enjoyable. It tell’s basically the history of Pansori, its development in various stages of
life, people’s
likness for it through Chae-sun’s, a famous artist. Besides
this, it enlighten’s the culture, history, development and general behavior of
people of different ages in Korea.
Guro arts valley theater was a new place
to explore which was quite interesting. There was a festival in progress which
was an additional source of fun for me and my family and the free food and beverages
made our day..:)
