 The National Theater of Korea is devoted to the historical
mission of the creative development of national art. It is
pledged to delivering first-class performances and services and
is devoted to preserving and enriching appreciation of Korean
traditional art forms amongst Korean and non-Korean audiences.
The National Theater strives to globalise Korean traditional
arts and re-vitalise it with modern interpretations.
The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in India and the Indian
Council of Cultural Relations will present the Korean National
Theater in India this November. InKo Centre is delighted to
support the Chennai leg of this tour.
The National Theater of Korea is the first federally managed
theatre in Asia. It was established in 1950 by the Government of
South Korea and hosts four resident companies: The National
Drama Company of Korea, which performs Korean and international
plays, The National Changgeuk Company of Korea, which performs
traditional Korean changgeuk, a traditional Korean opera,
performed as a play but in the Korean folk song style known as
pansori; The National Dance Company of Korea, and The National
Orchestra Company of Korea.
These four companies together present programmes for all
generations, from children to adults. Attracting only the best
artistes, the performance companies are dedicated to presenting
the most exquisite examples of traditional Korean arts.
 Two of the four resident companies of The Korean National
Theater, The National Dance Company and The National Orchestra
of Korea, combine to present what is set to be a superb display
of skill, precision and balance. In its debut performance in
India, the Korean National Theater will tour three cities -
Mumbai, New Delhi and Chennai - to present spectacular
performances of traditional percussion and dance forms. Precise,
delicate, dynamic and powerful, the effect, it is guaranteed,
will be spell-binding.
