Hahoe Mask Performance Festival

Hahoe Mask Dance Drama Performance has 800 years of tradition, featuring a performance dealing with daily life and the conflict between the common people and the privileged class of yangban (noblemen) and seonbi (classical scholar). Andong is well-known for having a large community of yangban from old times that makes a mask dance performance from this town representative in Korea. The performance is comprised of six sections beginning from the mid Goryeo to the present, satirizing the prestige of the ruling class and society contradictions sharply. Through this, they try to reduce depression and stuffiness while establishing a strong community bond and wish for peace. It features a festive communicative site through eras of time and among nations. (http://www.koreatriptips.com/en/festivals-events-performances/293027.html)
