Presented by the Pansori Project ZA, 'Pansori Brrecht: Sacheon-Ga' 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 of this work, Lee Jaram 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.  Pansori Project ZA consists of promising artists in Korea from various fields of arts: 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.
