A:i had this festivalthat ivan was running it went over 5 days experimental music and then last night a korean opera, and the night before the awards
21/01/2015 08:45
B:ah sounds intense
21/01/2015 08:45
A:so kind of non stop culture stuff, and now the post awards meet upslike I'm dead i can't cope with that much out!
21/01/2015 08:46
B:yeah I would die
21/01/2015 08:46
A:but good, new things to learn about
21/01/2015 08:46
B:yes I'm sure how was the opera?traditional opera or new?
21/01/2015 08:47
A:it was a pansori which I've never seen but it was a little bit of a fake pansori which was a shame it had some bass guitar and real guitar and I wanted the real deal, no fusion

21/01/2015 08:48
B:I just googled the word as I didn't know what it meantI'd like to see one
21/01/2015 08:49
A:I think traditionally it might just be a singer and a drumthey did "Mother Courage"as part of Sydney Festival
21/01/2015 08:49
B:yes that's what it says, just singer and drumso the story narrated was a traditional story?in the one that you saw
21/01/2015 08:50
A:yeah it was brecht's story done in the style of pansori, although not really
21/01/2015 08:51
B:ah ok that's what you saw, Mother Courage
21/01/2015 08:51
A:they tried to appeal to western audiences maybe? but I feel more people would have been interested if it was just pansori
21/01/2015 08:51
B:sorry I didn't understand that that's what you saw...
21/01/2015 08:51
A:ticket sales were really poor yeah it doesn't make that much sense it was pansori Mother Courage
21/01/2015 08:52
B:was did you think? was it interesting the combination? or would you rather have seen a more 'pure' form of pansori, apart from the instruments used, but also in terms of the story
21/01/2015 08:54
A:sorry my net keeps stalling!I wanted to see pure pansorias did my friend perhaps for korean audiences it would have been fine that way
21/01/2015 08:54
B:is there a specific type of story they normally go for? like, are the stories normally dramatic, or funny, or both...
21/01/2015 08:55
A:but I think in a desperate way to blend the two, the charm of pansori was lostit's traditional narration and then multiple character playing, simple costumepresentational, so quite flat and 2d (as is a lot of asian opera, art to)too
21/01/2015 08:56
B:I should look at some Asian opera, I don't really know it
21/01/2015 08:56
A:i don't know muchI learnt a bit more last nightnot enoughi left at interval
