The National Jeongdong Theater's traditional performance 'Gwangdae' will be staged in Daegu on August 15 and 16, offering a modern reinterpretation of Korea's first modern paid performance from 1902, 'Sochundaeyuhee.' The show features traditional arts like court dances, folk dances, pansori (a Korean genre of musical storytelling), and pungmul (traditional Korean percussion music) to bridge the past and present. Notable performers include pansori singer Lee Bong-geun and young talent Choi Yi-jeong. The performance previously captivated international audiences in Taiwan, showcasing the unique charm of Korean performance arts.
