This performance is inspired by Bertolt Brecht’s play A Good Woman of Szechuan. It is innovative because from the perspective of traditional Korean music, exotic rhythms and melodies have been added with more than 13 instruments. The script writer and composer, Jaram Lee received much acclaim from professional theatre experts in Europe and drew the “Best Actress Award” at the International Theater Festival ‘Kontakt’ in Poland this year.
Pansori Project ZA was formed right after Pansori Brecht: Sacheon-Ga premiered in 2007. It consists of promising artists in Korea from various fields of art such as traditional Korean music, pop music, theatre and contemporary dance. Their endeavors have resulted in creating a new style of “intercultural” theatre based on Pansori’s own aesthetic inspirations.
