Ask A North Korean Losing clothes, health, and even life for the Mass GamesPerformers brave illness, injury and humiliation to make spectacular displays
Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about. This week Jenny in Sydney asks: What are the training conditions for the child performers of the Mass Games? Why is it held and what are the expectations for this event? In case you haven’t heard of it, the Arirang Festival might be the most famous mass performance in the world. It is an absolute masterpiece of performance art mobilizing about 100,000 people from kindergarten kids to college students. The Arirang Festival was even listed in © Korea Risk Group.
