Free pansori storytelling performances are being held on Mondays at Seoul Global Culture and Tourism Center until Dec.12
Pansori -- a musical genre in which a story is sung with percussion backing -- will be sung in Korean but an English narration will be provided. Actors will help bring the performances to life.
The performances tell two stories alternating each week. Monday’s performance will tell the story of Heungbu and Nov. 29 will tell the tale of Chunhyang.
The tale of Heungbu is about two brothers who argue over their father’s inheritance.
Chunhyang’s story describes the love story of a nobleman and a “gisaeng,” a type of Joseon servant.
There will also be some explanation of the Korean language and prize giveaways.
