Before I traveled to North Korea, I heard that I could see the famous large-scale group gymnastics performance in Pyongyang at this time, "Arirang", and I was very much looking forward to and excited. North Korea's large-scale group exercise "Arirang" art performance began in 2002, which should be the world's largest group exercise art performance, "Arirang" was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2007, which is definitely a gorgeous visual feast.
The large-scale group exercise art performance , "Arirang" was performed at the "May Day" Stadium in Pyongyang, which claims to be able to accommodate 150,000 spectators, and according to reports, each performance was volunteered by more than 100,000 North Koreans. North Korea has a lot to be proud of, and large group exercises are undoubtedly one of them. "Arirang" is worthy of being hailed as a great epic work of art, and its performance scenes are gorgeous, magnificent and shocking.
To watch the performances of the large art group of "Arirang" in North Korea today in the twenty-first century, what is surprising and shocking is not the design of the images, but the ability to mobilize people so collectively and present a performance of national faith with huge manpower under the condition of basically no remuneration, this kind of gathering of 100,000 people in groups and completing artistic activities in a mechanized way, I think it is an impossible task in most countries in the world today.
"Arirang" is an ancient folk song that is widely circulated in Korean folklore, translated into Chinese to mean my Lang Jun. I looked up some information to learn that it was about a thought-provoking love tragedy. This legend and folk song is a popular humanistic masterpiece in both Korea and South Korea, and has a deep influence on the culture of the peninsula.
This large-scale group gymnastics performance with the theme of the legend of Arirang, combining the famous Korean songs, folk dances, artistic gymnastics and acrobatics and other artistic expressions, coupled with the moving art background and the auxiliary role of modern science and technology, the scene is very grand, whether in terms of scale, form, or content can be called a masterpiece in the history of world art performance, so that all those who can watch this grand occasion have to issue heartfelt praise, which is indeed a veritable visual art feast.
In addition to the ancient legends, throughout the performance, the Korean people have also been added to achieve national liberation, socialist construction and achievements, and at the same time render the Korean nation's desire for national reunification. With the limited opening of tourism in North Korea after 2008, the number of Chinese tourists to North Korea has increased significantly, and the North Korean organizers have added a new content with the theme of "Friendly Arirang" on the basis of the original performances, playing slogans such as "The Friendship between the DPRK and China is Far-reaching and Long", and the performers dressed as pandas or dressed in Chinese national costumes beat the waist drum.
The "Chinese Elements" chapter in the performance of the new "Arirang" has a lot of content and is wonderful and cheerful, reflecting the willingness of the Korean people to attach great importance to Sino-DPRK friendship. The whole performance, like the ancient legend of Arirang, reflects a deep sense of courage and a very strong sense of national pride. After watching this performance, everyone is very appreciative, especially for a performance can mobilize 100,000 people to participate, in the world today may only be north Korea and China can do it, but most of the performers do not get paid, and need to pay a lot of time and sweat for rehearsals, volunteer to participate in the performance, which is really very impressive, which may only be done in North Korea in today's world.
Thank you for coming to appreciate, welcome friends to comment on the guidance and stay tuned!
