Considered Chongdong Theater’s main attraction, the Traditional Arts Stage received the KTO Grand Prize in 1999 and remains on Seoul’s list of Ten Things to See. The show is also featured in Japanese and American travel guide books as a must-see among Korean traditional performances, offering a cultural experience of dances, instrumental performances, sori (sounds of Korea), and pungmul (percussion band). The Traditional Arts Stage presents the four representative genres of dance, instrumental music, musical performances of sori, and pungmul, offering an interesting and exciting repertoire for spectators. The Traditional Arts Stage Troupe, including dance, musical, and pungmul groups, preserves and passes down old traditions while creating new works as well.
