SYNOPSIS
Director Yong-kwang Song
Speaker Jae-wook Jo
<Pound it, Macbeth!> is HAEBOMA's representative work, which 'combines traditional Korean culture and classic masterpieces'. Based on the story of Shakespeare's Macbeth, HAEBOMA brings old traditional arts to the stage. Through the sound of traditonal drums expressing characters' moods and plots, the martial arts, and other traditional performances played by soldiers, it shows Korea's old heritage and beauty. Focused on the desire that comes from deep inside of humans, HAEBOMA intends to let audiences know that the desire is Macbeth himself. In this workshop, HAEBOMA will give a lesson on Korean traditional martial arts in order to improve cultural exchanges and build a strong network with the help of give-and-take opinions about the operation system.
