〈The Complete Performance of Pansori〉, inaugurated at the National Theater of Korea in 1984, presents a single singer performing one entire pansori work from beginning to end. The chance to hear all five pansori — Chunhyangga, Simcheongga, Heungboga, Sugungga, and Jeokbyeokga — in complete form, performed by the leading masters of the day, is a profoundly moving experience. Supported by the drummer's rhythmic beats and chuimsae (exclamations of encouragement), a complete performance lasts anywhere from three to nine hours, fully revealing the artistry that the singer has cultivated over a lifetime. With scholarly commentary illuminating each singer's artistic world and the work itself, audiences can immerse themselves fully in the depth and allure of each pansori — the most enduring encounter with the lasting power of a centuries-old tradition.
