“Creating the most stylish work without losing traditional charm.”
Centered around traditional Korean headwear (gat), the performance uses dance to portray the forms, meanings, spirit, and craftsmanship of nine distinct hat styles. From reinterpreting the black gat—historically reserved exclusively for ancient men—from a female perspective, to capturing the process of a scholar painting ink wash art through a pas de deux, to depicting aristocrats wearing the jeongjagwan through the image of a playful, arrogant young nobleman, every chapter is steeped in Korea’s rich cultural heritage.
The original score blends traditional Korean instruments with electronic music, while integrating elements of Korean dance into ballet to spark a whole new synergy. Driven by the core keywords “cool, stylish, and dark,” the performance evokes iconic figures from Korean historical dramas—imposing night investigators, scholars with a refined literati spirit, carefree poets, and mighty military officers. Paired with modern interpretations and striking visual effects, it offers an unprecedented dance viewing experience.
Achieving a 99% sell-out rate across two consecutive years of South Korean national tours and racking up millions of online views, this sensation is coming to Hong Kong for 2 performances only!
