Pansori Composed In Memory Of World Trade Center From Chosun Ilbo January 16, 2002 By Kim Yong-un
Criticizing the cruel nature of the terror attack, Lee plans to perform the piece during 2002 World Cup and in September in Seoul and New York, marking the first anniversary of the terrible incident. He added that the shows will also serve as a chance to publicize the mysterious and superb musicality of the traditional composition art form. The one-hour long Pansori is made up of five sections, beginning with "Peace of America, Peace of the World," followed by "Peaceful Morning of the Twin Towers," "Plane Crashes into the Building," "Flowers of Love Bloom from the Ruins," and concluding with "Consoling the Souls" Lee added that staging his opus with subtitles at a Korean Opera theater that will open in Insa-dong, a town will attract many foreign tourists as they will easily respond to the theme. Lee has received favorable review from his performance of "Yongdamga," a creative Pansori depicting the life of Choi Je-u, the founder of Cheondogyo (a popular religious organization) last year.
