Lee Narae presents A cursed woman, Ong-nyeo which focuses on the perspective of the character Ong-nyeo,who had once been regarded as an unchaste woman from Byeonganseo-ga. Although the narrative has been passed down, the musical pansori performance had been discontinued in the modern era due to the censoring opinion that the work was lewd and grotesque. This performance recreates thework’s major scenes and condenses its impact through the creative music of traditional instruments and a sorigun (singer).
