As part of the Namsan Connect program, this event aims to revive the \uacf5\ub3d9\uccb4 \uc815\uc2e0 and festive joy of \uc804\ud1b5 shamanic rituals with a \ud604\ub300\uc801 approach, offering \uad00\uac1d a unique \ucc38\uc5ec\ud615 \uacbd\ud5d8. It goes beyond mere observation, inviting attendees to become active members of the &quot;gutpan&quot; (ritual space), sharing in its \uc815\uc2e0 of \ud654\ud569 and community.<\/p>\n<h2>Seoul Namsan Gugakdang Reinterprets Tradition with &quot;Gutdo Bogo Tteokdo Meokgo&quot;<\/h2>\n<p>As part of its &#x27;Namsan Connect&#x27; program, Seoul Namsan Gugakdang continuously strives for the \ud604\ub300\uc801 continuation of \uc804\ud1b5\ubb38\ud654. The newly introduced &quot;Gutdo Bogo Tteokdo Meokgo&quot; (See a Gut and Eat Rice Cakes) is a \ucc38\uc5ec\ud615 \uc5f0\ud76c\uacf5\uc5f0 that reinterprets the Donghaean Byeolsingut, a representative \uacf5\ub3d9\uccb4 ritual from Korea&#x27;s East Coast, for the contemporary \ubb34\ub300. It is designed to revive the original \uc815\uc2e0 of \uc804\ud1b5 rituals, which historically prayed for the \uc548\ub155 and \ud48d\uc5b4 of villages while fostering neighborly bonds, adapting it for today&#x27;s \uad00\uac1d.<\/p>\n<p>As its title suggests, the \uacf5\uc5f0 aims to create an &quot;open gutpan,&quot; allowing \uad00\uac1d to \uacbd\ud5d8 both the sacredness and the festive excitement of a gut. No longer passive spectators, \uad00\uac1d are invited to play an active \uc5ed\ud560 as participants in the ritual, fostering a shared sense of \uacf5\ub3d9\uccb4 \uc815\uc2e0 and \ud654\ud569. This initiative seeks to demonstrate that \uad6d\uac00\ubb34\ud615\uc720\uc0b0 is not merely an object for \ubcf4\uc874 but a living \uc608\uc220\uc131 that communicates with the \ud604\uc7ac and moves towards the \ubbf8\ub798.<\/p>\n<h2>Detailed Structure of the Participatory &quot;Open Gutpan&quot;<\/h2>\n<p>The \uacf5\uc5f0 will feature a \ud604\ub300\uc801 \uc7ac\ud574\uc11d of various &quot;geori&quot; (segments) of the Donghaean Byeolsingut. Representative ritual sequences such as Mun-gut, Bujeong-gut, Golmegi-gut, Sejon-gut, Cheonwang-gut, Seongju-gut, and Boat Song will be staged, creating a new \ubbf8\ud559 that harmoniously blends \uc804\ud1b5 depth with contemporary \uac10\uac01. The profound \uc608\uc220\uc131 of master shamans who have dedicated \uadf8\ub4e4\uc758 \ud3c9\uc0dd\uc744 to these rituals, combined with the creative interpretations of younger performers, promises to offer a rich and diverse spectacle for the \uad00\uac1d.<\/p>\n<p>A special highlight at the end of the \uacf5\uc5f0 will be the sharing of &quot;Myeongdeok \ubcf5\ub5a1&quot; (blessing rice cakes) with the \uad00\uac1d. This program reinterprets the \uc804\ud1b5 practice of sharing blessings and wishing for \uc548\ub155 and \ud48d\uc5b4 within the gutpan in a \ud604\ub300\uc801 \ubc29\uc2dd. By partaking in these \ubcf5\ub5a1, \uad00\uac1d will directly \uacbd\ud5d8 the \uc815\uc2e0 of sharing and prayers inherent in the gut, thereby sharing in a unique \uacf5\ub3d9\uccb4 \uacbd\ud5d8.<\/p>\n<h2>Preserving and Signifying Donghaean Byeolsingut, a National Intangible Cultural Heritage<\/h2>\n<p>The National Intangible Cultural Heritage Donghaean Byeolsingut \ubcf4\uc874\ud68c, which is collaborating on this \uacf5\uc5f0, has played a pivotal \uc5ed\ud560 in \ubcf4\uc874 and \uacc4\uc2b9 the \uc804\ud1b5 shamanic ritual \ubb38\ud654 of the East Coast \uc9c0\uc5ed.

This \uc804\ud1b5, passed down through five generations of the Kim family of \uc138\uc2b5\ubb34, is regarded as a \uc885\ud569\uc608\uc220 that combines \ubb34\uac00, \ubb34\ubb34, \ubb34\uc545, and \uc5f0\ud76c.<\/p>\n<p>Through this \uacf5\uc5f0, Seoul Namsan Gugakdang emphasizes sharing the \uacf5\ub3d9\uccb4\uc801 \uac00\uce58 and \ubb38\ud654\uc801 \uc758\ubbf8 of intangible heritage with the \uad00\uac1d.
