p'ansori

p'ansori


(Korean; “story singing”)

A form of sung folk narrative. The form seems to have originated during the reign of Sukchong (1675–1720). Once a narrative performance that incorporated shamanistic chants, p'ansori became a vehicle for treating popular customs and everyday life. Six of the original 12 titles were revised by the master p'ansori writer Sin Chaehyo, of which five are still performed.

82 The scene of Korean pansori singer Bae Il-dong practicing his amazingly loud, harsh, long-winded howling by a waterfall is one of the unforgettable scenes in this 2008 documentary by Australian Emma Franz.
Though based on one of the most popular of all Korean folk tales, the most fascinating aspect of Im Kwon Taek's 98th feature (you read that right, 98th) is its sublime melding of the pansori musical narrative tradition with the lushly mounted presentation of an 18th-century folk tale.
Based on one of those folk legends (one thinks of Sansho Dayu) that continue to have resonance wherever oppression exists, elegantly shot in often dazzling colour, it provides many pleasures and satisfactions, not the least of which is the impassioned narration of (the catalogue entry informs me) `a traditional Pansori singer' who closes the film by exhorting his listeners (now identified with the cinema audience) to rush out and overthrow a social order in which rich oppress poor.
