Abstract

Nearly a century has passed since the first new p&apos;ansori piece <i>The Song of Ch&apos;oe Pyong-du</i> was performed at the turn of the twentieth century. While traditional p&apos;ansori, a form of folk musical drama, came to symbolize the cultural and artistic heritage of the Korean nation, new <i>p&apos;ansori</i>, in new millennium, aspires to be a cultural expression that is relevant to the contemporary conditions of everyday life while retaining or even restoring what is considered to be the quintessential <i>p&apos;ansori</i> aesthetics. This article explores the ways in which new <i>p&apos;ansori</i> combines various elements of tradition and modernity in its text, music, and performance style, which, in turn, lead to the polemics of <i>p&apos;ansori</i> aesthetics and the authenticity debate.
