Today we went to 소월아트홀 Sowol Art Hall at Wangshimni to take the children to see the gayageum orchestra (Korean traditional musical instrument).
We went there at about 13.30 and we missed the show since we could not find the exit 9 at the Wangshimni station...anyhow..we managed to ge there at 14.05 when the show just began..so we had to wait until the second act began.
So, we checked out where we would be seated. Eyra and Freya were looking at the seat arrangements at the main hall.
While waiting to enter the main hall, the kids were enthusiastically touching and playing the displayed gayageum at the entrance.
It was the scene when the gayageum played by the gayageum orchestra from Sookmyung was beng performed. I took the picture just when the last scene was about to finish.
I never thought that the endless arrays of sounds could be achieved and come out of the gayageum. It was just amazingly marvelous.
The orchestra did a wonderful job of perpetuating and exemplifying all kinds of feelings and excitement.
The sound of wind, tooth being pulled, a swollen tummy due to pregnancy, the tiptoeing, the happy thoughts...you name it, gayageum seemed to be able to express those.
The show was over after an hour or so. The kids got up from their seat...
Eyra coud understand and enjoy the show since she experienced and could relate herself to what Miru 미루 the main character being portrayed in the play: being a 7-year old girl who had to undergo the feeling of both excitement and anxiety of waiting to have a little brother or sister. This is pretty much what the story was all about .
After the show...
