Gangnyeong Talchum (National Intangible Cultural Heritage 34)
Talchum (mask dance) was performed across the country up to the early Joseon Period (1392 ? 1910). Gangnyeong Talchum (Mask Dance Drama of Gangneung) is a type of Sandae Dogamgeuk, which was performed at the Royal Palace. After the mask dance drama came to be no longer performed there by 1634 (the 12th year of King Injo’s reign), it was still enjoyed as a pastime by ordinary people. The Mask Dance Drama of Gangnyeong is performed on Dano (May 5 on the lunar calendar) in Gangnyeong-eup, Hwanghaenam-do, and dates perhaps from the late Joseon Period. The event is composed of seven acts, Lion Dance, Malttugi Dance, Mokjung Dance, Sangjwa Dance, Dance of the Nobleman and Malttugi, Dance of Chwibari and the Old Monk, and Dance of the Old Couple. Prior to the performance, the 20 members of the troupe march, playing music to entertain spectators along the road.
Songpa Sandae Nori (National Intangible Cultural Heritage 49)
Sandae Nori refers to a mask dance performed in the central region of Korea. It is part of Sandae Dogamgeuk, which used to be performed in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. It is composed of dances, pantomime, and gags, and is performed on the lunar calendar dates of Daeboreum (January 15), Dano (May 5), Baekjung (July 15), and Chuseok (August 15). Songpa was a commercial center of Gyeonggi-do. It is said that the play was frequently performed at the time Songpa Market reached its prime about 200 years ago and has continued to develop and to be one handed down to the present day. The play is composed of seven acts. Prior to the commencement of the play, members of the troupe march, playing music, to the site of performance to entertain spectators along the way.
