Gugak performed against backdrop of Korean calligraphy show

The National Theater of Korea is collaborating with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA), featuring contemporary gugak performances held against the backdrop of Korean calligraphy.

The 2020 Yeowoorak Festival, an annual festival of traditional Korean music organized by the National Theater of Korea, is to kick off on July 3, featuring 12 performances over its 23-day run. Since March, the MMCA Seoul has been hosting its first calligraphy exhibition, titled “The Modern and Contemporary Korean Writing.”

Currently, both institutions remain closed to prevent the spread of the COVID-19. Prior to the Yeowoorak Festival’s official opening, 12 artists who are to participate at the festival, will share their performances at the MMCA Seoul. The performance videos will be streamed via YouTube and Naver TV from June 30.

The performances were recorded earlier this month without a live audience.
