여오락 페스티발 ( 바다숲) ( seaforest )



 * Photos + videos are NOT allowed I snap some by secret


 I have always been found of old culture and music and wanted to feel the mixture between modern and old. Korea is the right place to do so, this country is rich of its history and art (Palaces, museums, temples and more) .  I got the change to attend one of the shows that I consider inspiring because with this show you will fly on time and you will feel that you are in another galaxy. You will feel that time has stop and you are closer to the nature. The seaforest show is combination of old, modern, nature and human. It’s like adventure you do it in your own but you are setting in your chair. The show start with voices birds, animals you will think you are actually there. The music is joyful make you happy for no reasons. The show contain segments like rain run, deep sea, snow queen and others

It’s a mixture of fantasy and reality. Fantasy because you will be able to live the old Korean days were music was a way to express feeling and passion.  Reality because when you will open your eyes after listening to this music you will realize you are far from that time and you missed it.  
This show is a calling for human to communicate with nature. With our daily modern life we forgot how to enjoy the nature trees, seas. The show use nature elements like water,snow, birds and rain. All been mixed and turn to music
 
I decide to go to this show because of the Korean musical instrument. They have incredible sounds and harmony that’s make me want to hear it again and again. Also it would be interesting how can they mix everything .
What I did in the show is I close my eyes and let my imagination walk away.. 




It was Saturday afternoon I gone to dongguk university station exit 6 and from there I took the shuttle bus 


It almost take 10 mints from the station to the national theater of korea and we arrived

I start looking around to find the Hana Theater



I gone to get my ticket yaaaay for me


We gone inside the theater at 5 pm because the show will start soon. The most interesting part is there were chairs in the floor lol. The audiences are from all ages’ children, young, and old. It’s a kind of show you enjoy with your family.




The show started

In the stage we notice the musical instruments are mixture of old, new and creative. There are old Korean instruments alongside guitar. Also they created tools to make sound like sea waves. Behind the stage there is a screen show movies related to each segment. For example if the segment is about sea, there will be a sea in the background and they will make sound effects.
