지난 금요일 LG아트센터에서 이자람의 ‘억척가’를 관람했는데 어땠나?

최근 몇 년 본 공연 중에 최고였다. 스코트랜드에서 본 ‘Black Watch’를 연상케 했다. 한국어를 알아들을 수 없음에도 불구하고 상당한 예술적 수준을 갖춘 훌륭한 공연임을 알 수 있었다. 그녀가 점점 더 세계적으로 주목받을 것이라고 확신한다. 그 나이에 그런 성숙하고 완성된 퍼포먼스는 놀랍다. 벌써 뉴욕의 지인들에게 이메일로 그녀에 대해 얘기했다. 당장 뉴욕에서 공연해도 손색이 없을 정도이다. Meredith Monk와 함께 공연해도 좋을 것 같다.

스캇 레러(Scott Lehrer)는
브로드웨이 뮤지컬과 연극 뿐만 아니라 영화음악, 음반레코딩, 박물관/미술관 음향설치, 기업미디어 제작 등 다방면에서 활발히 활동하고 있다. 2008년 뮤지컬 ‘남태평양’(South Pacific)으로 토니상과 드라마데스크상을 수상하였고, 뮤지컬 ‘시카고’(Chicago)의 미국, 영국 투어에서 음향디자인을 맡았으며 2010년 연극 ‘다리위의 풍경’과 뮤지컬 ‘피니안의 무지개’ 등을 포함해 수차례 토니상 및 드라마데스크상 후보에 올랐다. 현재 Scott Lehrer Sound Design Ltd.를운영하고 있으며 Bennington College의 Music Recording and Sound Design 교수로 재직 중이다.

Pansori Brecht 'Sacheon-ga'

2009-07-22T08:49:00.000-07:00

Genre _ Pansori (Korean traditional narrative songs)
Running Time _ 140 min. (Intermission 20min. included)
Group _ Pansori Project ‘ZA’
Country _ South Korea

Inspired by Bertolt Brecht’s A Good Woman of Setzuan,
Pansori Brecht SACHEON-GA is a work made from endeavour of creating a modernised Pansori, which could match the spirit of our times and whose narrative style is integrated with modern(or western) dramatic elements. It is performed mainly by a sorikkun (a singer) - who sings narratives -, and contemporary musical and dramatic elements are gradually added.

In transforming Brecht's epic drama, the emphasis is to revive the theme of social criticism and narrative manner of his work to Pansori style.

The author of the work, Jaram Lee, highlighted the theme of this epic drama translating Brecht's world into contemporary times and made the mood even more satirical and humorous.

REVIEWS

2009-07-22T07:24:00.000-07:00

Lee Jaram, who has been trying to find a new way of performance crossing the boundaries, came with quite an innovative style of performance. Harmonizing eastern and western style of music and drama, the show revives Pansori's original satire and humor.

- MBC(TV), July 4 2008

Using the expression of her eyes, gesture and voice, Jaram changed into so many characters every moment. Mesmerized by her singing and acting, the audience often shouted with encouraging sound 'Chuimsae' during the performance.

- The Chosun Ilbo, Dec 8 2007

Sacheonga satirizes human absurdity and double personality of good and bad. It successfully turns Brecht's alienation into Korean peculiar style of Pansori.

- The Munwha Ilbo, Nov 21 2007

About Pansori Project 'ZA'

2009-07-10T05:13:00.000-07:00

Pansori Project 'ZA' is a group of promising artists from various fields of traditional/pop music, theatre and contemporary dance who are willing to make new and dynamic Pansori, a Korean traditional singing and storytelling.

'ZA' was first formed right after Pansori Brecht 'Sacheon-ga' premiered in 2007. Artists who participated in this project felt keenly the necessity of this group to develop and create contemporary Pansori even though it is a traditional style of music. It tries to make a new style of performance based on Pansori's aesthetic inspirations such as different colors of voice, narrative style and its satirical function.

The leading members are
Lee Jaram, a sorikkun(Pansori singer) and the most promising musician of Korea,
Nam In Woo, a renowned director as theatre Gamoonjang
and Yejong CHOI who is the representative of 'ZA' and also a dramaturg of Sacheonga.
And there are so many young professional artists working together.

Korean word ‘ZA’ is an exclamation used when someone encourages other people to start something new together. It is also a root of the word 'ZADA' which means relaxation.
'ZA' believes infinite possibility of art from 'Z' to 'A' and aims to make a new, exciting and ever-changing Pansori.

"Za, Let's have fun with Pansori!"
