Namsadang
The ''namsadang'' () is a Korean itinerant troupe which consists of male performers who present various performing arts such as acrobatics, singing, dancing and playing like a circus. It is said that ''namsadang'' was spontaneously formed before 1900 during the Joseon Dynasty and used to wander about marketplaces and villages. The troupe was considered the lowest class in society along with ''cheonmin'' (vulgar commoners) or ''baekjeong'' (butchers), so that very few historical documents remain on them. However, since a record that a puppet show was performed during the Silla period (57 BCE – 935 CE) has been found, it is assumed that similar types of itinerant companies appeared in Korean history a long time ago. During the late Joseon Dynasty, there were several ''namsadang'', but the one whose base was set in Cheongryongsa temple (청룡사) in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province was the most famous. They became called ''namsadang'' because the troupe were composed of only men an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
