The National Gugak Center (Director Kim Jung-hyun) will present the regular performance of the Yeonhui Division titled "Flowers of Wandering" at the National Gugak Center Yeowondang on the 29th at 3 p.m. This performance adds a modern stage aesthetics to the traditional foundation of joy (興) and divine spirit (神明) of our Yeonhui.

"Flowers of Wandering" is a piece that embodies the artistic completeness of Honam women's farming music, following the artistic spirit of the Honam Women's Farming Music Preservation Society, and enhancing the skills of the Yeonhui Division members to express the essence of tradition in today's stage language.

This stage performance starts with the entrance ritual, followed by the first part "Ochaechil Gut," the second part "Obangjin Gut," the third part "Dumachi Gut," and the fourth part "Hoho Gut," gradually changing the speed, century, and density of the rhythm to lead to the climax of the divine spirit. Within this, the perfect harmony and skilled abilities of the members create a full display of the "aesthetics of Korean energy."

The title and theme of the performance, "Flowers of Wandering," symbolize the artistic soul that blooms in the journey of life. Traditionally, Yeonhui has existed as a medium of community art that connects people, villages, and the world, wandering without staying in one place. This performance reinterprets the spirit of wandering in modern stage art, expressing the cyclical vitality of "wandering" and the beauty of the "flowers" that bloom within it through artistic language.

An official from the National Gugak Center stated, "Flowers of Wandering" is a stage that sheds new light on the essence of percussion Yeonhui, including object play, based on the structure and spirit of farming music that forms the foundation of Korean Yeonhui art," adding, "The sweat and breath of the Yeonhui Division members, and the artistic divine spirit that emerges from it, will deeply convey the vitality of tradition and the emotional impact of the community to the audience."
