Performance Detail

Heemoon Lee who carries on his body everything that is called ’tradition’ today revives ’gipeun sarang’
in the 1970s by referring to the traditional music
he inherited from his mother and teacher, relevant literature and his childhood memories.
An attempt capture and restore the archetypes
of traditional culture that has disappeared and is disappearing with time, it creates a journey where we become the ear masters and cross between the present and tradition just as the singers and ear masters sat around and shared their lives in the 1970s in ’gipeun sarang.’
