Korean Mask Dance of Tragedy 문둥북춤

This is a clip done by me at my school performance.

This mask dance, is a traditional Korean dance which expressed the leper's sorrow and happiness.

The leper is suffering from the karma due to his ancestor's sins in the past.

The dance is mostly about this one leper, who shows misery by eating fly and crops to escape from his starveness.

And after a while, he finds his own small drum and remembers his old days when he wasn't a leper yet.

He tries to play with his small drum but he fails and falls into despair.

But, he finally gets his drum and he plays with it so happily and finds himself in full competence with his own self.
