Description: Nongak is a popular performing art widely practised in the Republic of Korea combining a percussion ensemble, parading, dancing, drama and acrobatic feats. Its local performers are clad in colourful costumes with various purposes, such as appeasing gods, praying for a rich harvest in spring then celebrating it during autumn festivals and fund-raising for community projects. The public becomes familiar with Nongak through observation and participation in its performances, while community groups and educational institutions play an important role in transmitting its different components.
