Gyochon Cultural Performance Silla Ogi

After returning from his studies in the Tang dynasty, Silla scholar Choi Chi-won was captivated by a clown troupe performance in Gyeongju’s Gyochon Village and later recorded it in his poetry, “Hyangak Japyeong.” Inspired by this, the Gyochon Cultural Performance “Silla Ogi” reimagines five traditional plays: Geumhwan, Daemyeon, Sanye, Woljeon, and Sokdok. Each showcasing unique arts like juggling, mask dance, satire, and rhythmic group performances. Blending storytelling with live commentary, this outdoor production revives the artistic spirit of Silla in a modern setting.
