☞ THE BEAUTY OF THE EAST
☞ The culture all over the world has globalized. 
    On the exhibitions we can meet with the art of 
    different countries whose form and style are 
    the same as ours. The same thing happens with 
    the music and the mass culture. However, 
    what attracts us most in the art of other cultures 
    are those elements which contain some national 
    features and are common part of the traditions 
    ignored by us. The best evidence for this could 
    be the show of the Korean group Tiat Moo entitled 
    “A Dream of Butterfly” performed on the Rose 
    Square in the castle.I came late to the spectacle, 
    so it resulted a little bit hard for me to 
    understand its logic and meaning. Yet the atmosphere
    of the show itself and, above all, its poetic 
    scenography and music made a big impression.  
☞ The Korean performance takes place in a white box 
    made only of the paper. The characters which appear
    in the show move little and in the ritual way. 
    Their movement is completely subordinated to the 
    game of light and shadow and to the live music. 
    The motion of some objects is very interesting, 
    as well. These objects are controlled by the 
    strings pulled by the people situated outside the 
    stage. This is a beautiful spectacle due to its 
    visual and auditive aspects and what is more the 
    artists insist that it should be treated as a kind 
    of therapy. And the final ritual! After the applause, 
    the actors ask the audience to pass through the box 
    and they themselves stand at the exit door to say 
    goodbye to every spectator separately.
