Description
The dance of Omjung and Mokjung (two specific stage characters from this theater) is the iconic representative performance in Yangju Byolsandeongori (one of the most famous and recognized traditional masked dances in South Korea, designated as an important intangible cultural heritage, performed in the Yangju city region).
Omjung and Mokjung exchange sharp and witty lines in the play, which is a bitter satire against the abuses of power by the privileged classes.
