한국 전통극, or Korean traditional theater, encompasses various performance arts that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Korea. It includes forms such as 판소리 (pansori), a narrative singing style, and 탈춤 (talchum), a masked dance drama. These performances often combine music, dance, and storytelling, showcasing historical events, folklore, and social issues. The performances are typically held in outdoor settings or traditional theaters, allowing for community engagement. They often feature colorful costumes and elaborate masks, especially in 탈춤, which adds to the visual appeal. 한국 전통극 serves as a vital means of preserving and promoting Korean culture and history.
