stage by sorrikun LEE, Ja-ram, who is well known for her performances in Sacheon-ga and Ukchuk-ga.

Review

“An exotic plot that combines perfectly with the rhythm of pansori. A performance that surpasses a triple-role and stimulates the audience’s imagination with three-dimensional dialogue, along with natural and diverse body movements.”
- SBS (Korea) -

“In a time where provocative extravagance survives, Jaram Lee’s small physique shines like a jewel, shedding light on important values. Through “Stranger’s Song”, Jaram Lee hands out a small yet sweet ‘fruit’. That ‘fruit’ energizes us to live on through a tedious and stressful daily routine.”
- NEWS CULTURE (Korea) -

“There is a reason for being called ‘genius’ and ‘Mozart of Korean traditional music’”.
