Description:
Talchum is a traditional Korean performing art that blends theater, dance, and music. Its hallmark features include masked actors and vibrant, rhythmic musical accompaniment performed live by an ensemble of instrumentalists. Talchum performances humorously and insightfully comment on social realities, critiquing inequality, stereotypes, and hierarchies – with audiences actively participating through chants and reactions.
Othello and Iago is a remarkable adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy, reimagined through the lens of Korean mask theater. The ensemble The Greatest Mask has successfully combined intense dramatic depth with a traditional form of artistic expression, creating a performance that is both emotionally powerful and visually captivating.
The production was awarded Best Dance Performance at the prestigious 11th Edaily Culture Awards in 2024.
Join us for a unique encounter with Korea’s rich stage tradition and the timeless power of Shakespeare’s storytelling.
