Lee Jaram present "Snow, snow, snow"
Lee Jaram's Snow, Snow, Snow once again shows why she stands as the most singular and unrivalled voice in contemporary pansori – this Korean storytelling tradition accompanied by drums. Using only a fan, Lee Jaram immerses the audience in the frozen winter of Leo Tolstoy's short story Master and Man, following in the steps of Vassili and Nikita. As the greedy merchant and his servant travel by night, they find themselves caught in a snowstorm. As she brings the story into the present tense, Lee Jaram reimagines these characters as reflections of ourselves, torn between their desires, their anxieties, and their sense of responsibility.
부채 한 자루와 북의 리듬에 의지해, 이자람은 주인과 하인 이야기를 들려준다. 그녀는 판소리 기법과 톨스토이의 소설을 결합하여, 폭풍우 속에 갇힌 탐욕스러운 상인과 그의 하인이 겪는 이야기를 그려낸다.
