National Changgeuk Company of Korea 'Kwito: Rabbit's Eight Difficulties' | Making Film

Kwito 龜兎, 2021 The birth of a new "Sugungga" The birth of a changgeuk suited for the new Haeoreum Grand Theater Back to land to live on, 歸土 Do not run, one must learn to dance in the wind The National Changgeuk Company of Korea's newest work is "Kwito," which reflects today's generation through the pansori "Sugungga." The work places emphasis on a rabbit's turning point in life after a near-death experience from going to the water palace to chase after its dreams, and returning to land. One must not escape the winds, but learn to dance within. Rather than being pessimistic towards reality while dreaming of a certain ideal, the work evokes a positive message of searching for hope in the grounds we walk on. Let us all look forward to how the traditional "Sugungga" will be newly portrayed as it is invited into contemporary realms.
