| Introduction |
|
During the Joseon Dynasty (A.D. 1392~A.D. 1910), Anseong had been the center of entertainment in Korea. Since 2001, the festival has been held to celebrate and further develop the traditional culture of Namsadang and the art of Baudeogi. In 2008, it will be held from September 30th to October 5th at the Anseong Gangbyeon Park and will offer Namsadang programs that can easily be shared by all visitors.
The Namsadang jultagi (tightrope walk), pungmull nori (folk music), salpan (tumbling), talloreum (mask dance), deolmi (puppet show), and beona nori (plate spinning) have been upgraded, while more hands-on programs to experience Namsadang Nori will be offered. Designated as an official festival of the International Council of Organizations for Folklore Festivals and Folk Art, an international cultural NGO in formal consultative relations with UNESCO, the Namsadang Festival will also feature folk troupes from 6 countries and their unique cultural performances. Come and visit an old market of the Joseon period and the Baudeogi National Pungmul Contest featuring over 1,500 pungmul performers.
