On the 31st at Andong Culture & Arts Center, 'Let's Go See GutGOOD'

Let's Go to Goodbo Osan (Shellwipungnyu) Pansori (Kim Ilgu, Kim Cheongman)

A traditional performance combining traditional sounds, dance, and skills will be held on the 31st at the Andong Culture & Arts Center. It is ‘Gut GOOD Boraga’ supported by the National Intangible Heritage Center and organized by the Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation. Holders and transmitters of intangible cultural heritage will take the stage to showcase traditional arts spanning generations.

This year’s theme is ‘Musamuryeo (無思無慮),’ meaning a state free from worries and concerns. It reflects the hope that people exhausted and struggling due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will heal their body and mind through traditional performances.

The stage will feature Geomungo Sanjo by Master Kim Mugil (Geomungo Sanjo transmission instructor), Bupo Nori by Master Kim Seonok (holder of Jinju Samcheonpo Nongak), tightrope walking by artisan Kwon Wontae (Namsadang Nori practitioner), Gyobang dance by artisan Park Kyungrang (Gyobang Gutgeori dance practitioner), Yangsan Temple Hak dance by Master Park Wolsan (candidate holder of Hanryangmu), and Ogomu by the Korean House Art Troupe. The Gugak band Mureu will present Bossa Nova and jazz based on traditional arts, and Tanz EDM will reinterpret the folk song ‘Ongheya’ into electronic dance music (EDM). The event will be hosted by actor Oh Jeonghae and Yoon Wonjung and Shin Seonil from the Bongsan Talchum performance group ‘Saemdonegi.’
