Friday, August 21st, is the fourth weekend of August. This is the 49th series of'For You Tired of Bangkok'. These days, I have a lot of worries due to the recurrence of Corona 19. Even in the performance world, which seemed to be gradually finding vitality, performances are being canceled, postponed, and stopped one after another. This is a very sad situation. The venue has followed the quarantine regulations and prepared for thorough spectators, so there have been no cases of infection in the venue. It's best to stay home this weekend and avoid going out. We introduce online performances that you can enjoy at home.

The second season of LG Art Center Digital Stage Come On (CoMPAS Online), this week's screening is'Rain' by the Belgian Rosas Dance Company. Anne Teresa de Caersmarker, one of the leading choreographers in Belgium who is famous for contemporary dance, was choreographed by Anne Teresa, a choreographer who caused a breakthrough in the dance world with'minimalism'. Anne Teresa's work repeats simple movements while collecting energy through subtle variations, then explodes at some point, giving a thrilling pleasure. Anne Theresa's work is said to have been influenced by the music of Steve Reich, an American composer who represents the minimalism of contemporary music.

Anne Teresa's choreography is also called'Music Listened to Dance' because of the choreography style that not only has a natural sense of music, but also always thoroughly analyzes the score and then puts music on the movements. Steve Reich praised Anne Teresa's work, who choreographed her own music, for a new look at her music. When Anne Teresa performs her choreography, she prefers to play'live' rather than a recorded accompaniment.In'Rain', a work that shows the'peak' of minimalism, Ictus is a Belgian contemporary music ensemble and often performs with the Rosas Dance Company. ) Performed Steve Reich's music live. The live video of this performance will be available for 48 hours on Naver TV https://tv.naver.com/lgarts from 8 pm on the 21st (Friday). Trailer video https://tv.naver.com/v/15146911


During Season 2 of the National Opera's Zipcock Opera Challenge, a live opera performance is screened every week. This week, the Vivaldi opera'Orlando Pincho Pato' is being screened. The title means'Orlando pretending to be crazy'. Orlando, one of Charles the Great's twelve knights, depicts what she faces when she visits the castle of the enchanted Queen Hersilla with the request of her beloved Angelica. Vivaldi's early opera, discovered in Italy by the National Opera Company, shows the lively and rich baroque opera characteristics. This is a live performance in 2017 featuring Korean counter tenor Lee Dong-gyu. It will be screened on the YouTube channel of the National Opera Group at https://www.youtube.com/c/KoreaNationalOpera/featured.


From August 24th (Mon), Kurt Weil's opera'The Prosperity and Fall of the City of Mahagony' will be screened. It is a masterpiece of a 20th century opera written by Bertolt Brecht. Against the backdrop of an imaginary city called'Mahogany,' it depicts the process of prosperity and decline created by human selfishness and desire. It is famous for its work that criticizes capitalist society violently, and last year the National Opera Company made its debut in Korea. It was well received for its black comedy opera, which he met with contemporary dance at the time of the performance.
