The Busan National Gugak Center announced that it will allow audiences to take pictures during the Saturday Performances of Korean Traditional Music & Dance which take place every Saturday at 3 p.m. The photo-call service will take place two minutes before the performance is over.
Photography has been prohibited during the performance. Therefore, there is no commemorative material except the printed brochure of the performance for the audience to keep. To correct this, the Busan National Gugak Center launched the photo-call service to take place during performances.
The guide subtitles on the screen at both sides of the stage will announce the beginning of the photo-call. Audience members are unable to take pictures before the guide subtitle appears on the screen.
The Busan National Gugak Center plans to expand the photo-call service to other performances. It aims to promote Gukak to the public.
The size of the audience for the Saturday Performance of Korean Traditional Music & Dance has reached about 60,900 since May 2009 and increases every year as it gains popularity.
The performance includes a UNESCO designated intangible cultural asset, music and instruments, folk dance, court culture, percussion and vocal music, traditional plays, creative dance, folk music, and Korean orchestra music.
Tickets are 10,000 won for A seats and 8,000 won for B seats. Online reservation at http://busan.gugak.go.kr or www.interpark.com is available and call reservation (051-811-0040) is also available until 6 p.m. on the day before the performance.
