Lebanon's renowned traditional dance troupe, Hayakel Baalbeck, is currently on a tour in South Korea as part of the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the Arab Culture Festival. The Embassy of Lebanon in Seoul organized performances in Seoul, Gwangju, and Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, between September 5 and 10.
The troupe's first performance took place on Saturday at the Yeakdang Theater in Seoul’s National Gugak Center, where they collaborated with Korean traditional music from Jindo. The group is performing their acclaimed theatrical production "Laylet Farah" (A Night of Celebration), which features an 11-piece repertoire celebrating the values of hospitality and homeland.
The production showcases Lebanon's enduring cultural identity through authentic music, costumes, theatrical storytelling, and dynamic rhythms of Lebanese dabke.
