Based in Seoul, South Korea, Minhee Park is a traditional vocalist trained in the Korean Intangible Cultural Property of gagok. Originating as court music in the 18th century, gagok has continued down to the present day as an elegant lyrical form, though remains constricted by customs. In this performance, the audience moves between small rooms, viewing each gagok performer in their own intimate space. Arranging the performers and audience in a one-on-one, equal relationship, the work brings out a whole new form of expression in the space using song and gesture. Is this gagok, or no longer gagok? One thing’s for sure: it is an accomplished attempt to revive traditional culture in contemporary society.
