## Press Release Information
Title: "See.Hear Simcheong" Preserves Korean Tradition, Showcases Fusion of Opera and Technology Art
Central News
(Central News Agency reporter Chao Ching-yu, Taipei, 30th) The 2026 Taiwan Traditional Theatre Festival's main event, the Korean opera "See.Hear Simcheong," held a rehearsal press conference. The performance retains the traditional Pansori singer and drummer, combined with LED visual-responsive singing, showcasing a natural fusion of opera and technology art.
According to news materials provided by the National Center for Traditional Arts today, this production is an adaptation of the Pansori classic "Simcheongga." Unlike the traditional emphasis on daughter Simcheong's filial piety, the focus shifts to the blind father Sim Hak-gyu, transforming the classic story into a spiritual fantasy journey from darkness to light.
"See.Hear Simcheong" breaks away from the single narrative form of traditional Pansori, with story threads scattered among sound, visuals, and body, to be reassembled by the audience. On-site, one will feel the震撼 of drum sounds, lasers, and visuals. The lighting design on stage also becomes a symbolic language. During the performance, several red laser beams cross the giant LED video wall towards the audience, with the up-and-down movement of the beams resembling long eyelashes blinking.
