Pansori marginalia

questions and thoughts...

Why is it that one form of traditional korean theatre becomes marginalized? 

I found it interesting how you can combine the most unlikely things through theatre. Brechtian pansori is a unique combination which is not likely to be common. 

To tell a brechtian epic through korean musical theatre is not only to highlight the difference of culture's but to also show how one can tell a western story and convey the emotions that story elicits through a completely radical style such as a Korean traditional "musical" theatre.
