"Romeo - the SSIT GIM"

A grand prize in 2015 Korean Traditional Performing Arts Festival(Prized by Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

Now, in an auditorium... An exorcism group made up of actors, singers and Korean traditional musiciansmake their entrance by ones and twos. They invoke spirits of ‘Romeo (Shakespeare's character)' who died in 16C. Romeoborrowing one actor's body lamented over his hapless destiny. After Juliet coming on the stage, the stage went back to the pastthey met first. From now on they reenact the romance between Romeo and Juliet, which made Verona noisy. When Romeo'ssorrow went to extreme getting to Juliet's death, female shamans and actors ease their deep-rooted sorrow by the rite SSITGIM.After spreading Gill-bae, Romeo's spirit arrived at SSITGIM and rested in peace. The group of actors, singers and Koreantraditional musicians slowly make their exits.

Denying a border between genres of performing arts, performing Group 'Parandal theater company' was organized to overcome that limitation by experimental creating activity. They try to find a creative domain of theatrical expression by expanding definition of the arts and artist and extending idea of beauty and ugliness. Last year they were officially invited to Almagro International Festival of Classical Theatre Foundation in Spain (Name: 'Eo-ri') and came back with huge applause. Please lend weight to Parandal trying to grow as Korean cultural wave based on tradition.
