Jongmyo Jeryeak KOREAN DANCES
Traditional Dance
•
1h 14m
Jongmyo Jeryeak is the most subtle expression of Korean court art.
Combining ritual dances and music from Confucian ceremonies, this tradition originated in the 15th century and accompanied the rise of the great Joseon dynasty that ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910.
Performed without interruption for more than five hundred years, and now once a year in Korea, this ritual constitutes a veritable "conservatory" of the founding elements of Korean culture, which have exerted an important influence on the art and culture of the neighbour countries China and Japan.
Director: Kim Hae-Sook (Artistic Director)
Cast: Han Myung-Ok (Choreography), Chung Jae-Gook (Music Director)
