Bibap 2014

I along with my friend planned to watch yet another very famous nonverbal musical comic performance in Seoul, named as Bibap. I was waiting since a long ago to have the chance to watch this performance, as I have heard a lot about it from my friend.

Like other nonverbal performance, including Jump, Nanta, Schoom, Kaboom, etc. the bibap is also full of energy and laughs, excitement and enjoyment. Comic characters and scenarios are specially designed and are the main ingredient.

The story is based on a cooking competition among two cooks, making dishes of various origins, like Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Korean of course. Making these dishes along with some dances and comic scenes is whole theme. Audience participation is highest in this performance, like after making each dish one or two persons from the audience are requested to come on the stage and taste the dish and also perform according to the scene with the actual performers of the show. This makes the show more exciting. A gift is also presented to the participating audiences as a token of thanks. Like all other nonverbal performances there not even a single foot wrong during the whole show by the performers. They are highly skilled people who know how to act, dance, and sing and to indulge audience into their show.

I recommend every one to watch this incredible performance along with friends and family. You will definitly enjoy it. 

Moonlight tour with Suwon culture foundation

It was a great effort from the Suwon cultural foundation to offer moonlight tour of the Hwaseong fortress to the local and internationals  to enjoy the amazing moonlight in specific nights of each month. When the moon is at full the romantic scenery of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress attract every single soul towards its traditional entertainment. SCF has designed a special schedule and invites everyone who love culture, tradition, travel, photography and wanted to enjoy the cool nights with a full moon in the Hwaseong fortress. As a part of the schedule,  SCF invited the ambassadors of Suwon on October 13, to enjoy the beauty of nature and to spread the beauty of night to the world. It proved to be a  romantic night for the lovers and all those who love nature.

Every corner of the fortress, enlightened in a special way attracts the sight of veiwrs from far away. The cool breaze of night touches the soul with all its freshness and charm. The experience of wearing Korean traditional dress and enjoying the soft music increase the loveliness of the night.

Hwaseong fortress is  a must visit place in night when the moon is a full.. 

Wearing "RIM" traditional hat

RIM is a traditional hat of Korea and can be seen wearing by many Koreans in many festivals.  its has 220 years history,  when in 1795, people were used to wear this at their normal routine.  Suwon to grave "Nam-Heon Balhae and stars: Suwon culture foundations did a great job by providing opportunity to those who love wearing traditional RIM. Those who never wear the  rim, SCF recruited participants for this event and successfully conducted it.

Drum Cats 2014

Globally-recognized Korean performance, ‘Drum Cat’ whips people into a frenzy of rhythm and fun. Drum Cat was created in 2003 and is an all-female percussion group .2008 was landmark year for Drum Cat, as the group received both the ‘2008 Edinburgh Festival Herald Angel’ award and the ‘2008 Scotland Cavalcade Best Unit’ award, the first awards even won by a Korean team at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  I was a bit crazy for this performance because all this information I collected before I went to watch this performance. Drum cats show is presented in Myungbu art hall which is at walking distance from Myeongdong, City hall and Dongdaemun station. The facilities provided in theater are worth appreciated.

The performer presented attractive skills, no doubt they were very competent with the sticks in their hands. Their body movements were perfect. Their performance seems like a far cry from traditional drumming, the performance focuses on a modernization of rhythm: combining and reinventing rock, jazz, techno and Latin rhythms into a unique blend of sound. Right from the start of the performance till end the performers show awesome and trilling skills with their instruments. It’s well recommended show for you and your friends and families.

Drawing Show

One of the marvelous shows I have ever seen is the drawing show. Basically it was started in 2007 and it crossed many marks of popularity since then.  The audiences can see some amazing artwork in very short period of time with a high speed by the artists using different techniques and methods. The actors' amusing performances with the spectators make the show even more pleasurable. Thanks to KTO for the opportunity of watching such a nice performance. The original drawing show syndicates the use of the stage and art together. Right from the start of the show the performers astonishes the spectators creating a suspense and thrill. The actor’s nonverbal communication is remarkable to watch.

The artists of the show (04 in number at the time I watched) have astounding skills; they showed diverse abilities, skills, and distinct possessions. The involvement of audience is a great achievement by the actors who communicate in a more interesting way to bring smiles on their faces. Their amazing expressions increase the worth of the show. A shirt is given to the lucky spectator, drawn at the spot having “Drawing show” written on it. Moreover spectators are invited to show their drawing skills.

Different abilities at its best can be seen with the performer’s brushes. Enchanted with fun, using different colors they used to draw many sketches on one end while the spectators always expect another thing on other hand. One of the most charming things to see is the water comes out of a waterfall in the drawing. Another thing is the use of video camera for dramatic effect which looks like the drawing being drawn on water. The high point of the show is during the apex when the spectators see the drawings whirling into all sorts of colors on the stage.

Since the audiences are not allowed to take pictures during the show, special opportunity is given to them to take pictures at the end of the show. There is a photo session with performers at the end of show as well.
