Korea's traditional arts are set to captivate European audiences in a three-country tour beginning next month. The "K-Intangible Heritage Festival: Pungjang Korea" will showcase the energy of the nation's intangible cultural heritage in Budapest on Wednesday, Nov. 8 in Podgorica, and Nov. 13 in Ankara. The event will feature over 20 performers, including masters of nationally recognized intangible heritage and contemporary artists, who will blend traditional music, dance, and theatrical performance.
This tour aims to elevate the global recognition of Korean cultural heritage while introducing audiences unfamiliar with these arts to the lively spirit and communal essence that defines them. The performance is structured into four distinct scenes: "Mungut" initiates the show with a ritual, "Saemgut" invokes life and well-being, "Jisinbapgi" follows and completes the experience.
