[Event Introduction]In Andong, the “capital of Korean spiritual culture,” where Korea’s unique traditional culture lives, the “Andong International Mask Dance Festival” will be held from September 29 to October 3 in Andong downtown including Mask Dance Park and Hahoe Village.
Andong culture is a region where various cultures that are not biased by era and religiously biased have been completely transmitted.
Therefore, it is the region with the most cultural assets in Korea, and at the same time, it is also a place that reveals oriental aesthetics.
As there are many intangible cultural assets as well as tangible assets, it is handed down in various ways, such as the male daedong play Chajeonnori, the female daedongnori nodari stepping, slash-and-burn fight, the sound of Jeojeon non-megi, Naebangsa, and the sound of peddling.The fact that this rich cultural heritage is transmitted to the Andong region is due to Andongs value-oriented philosophy.
This is because they actively coped with cultural changes and were active in cultural acceptance and development.
As a result, all oriental cultures flowed into Andong, and after the introduction, they were reorganized into Andongs unique values ​​and blossomed.
Therefore, Andong culture shows a high level of orientation that shows the characteristics of Andong while keeping the Eastern values ​​intact.
These cultural assets are the background that makes the Mask Dance Festival possible.
In other words, you learn the stillness of a static mind in the value of cultural heritage, and experience the dynamic divergence through the divine name of mask dance.
Therefore, the mask dance festival consists of exploring Andong culture and sharing the spirit of the festival in harmony like Taegeuk.[Event Details]- Mask dance, an important intangible cultural asset in Korea- Non-specified mask dance- Madang Theater- Overseas mask dance- Learn to follow the mask dance- World Mask Play Contest- Festival Costume Contest- Mask dance contest, etc.[Ancillary Event]- More than 80 side events such as belly dance, taekwondo, folk song, etc.
