The National Intangible Heritage Center will present the second edition of "Isuja-Dyeon (傳): Connecting, Existing, Ripening," a program that supports the creative and performance activities of holders of National Intangible Cultural Heritage, at the Eolssu Maru Small Theater in Jeonju on August 8.

The stage will feature Joo Won Lee, master of Hahoe Byeolsingut Talnori, Youngchan Kim, holder of the national intangible cultural heritage certification for Cheoyongmu, and Boreum Jang, master of Jindo Buknori, who also holds certification in Gyeonggi Sinawi Dance, bringing together their common backgrounds. The performance will present the humor of Hahoe Byeolsingut Talnori, the elegance of Cheoyongmu, and the dynamism of Jindo Buknori in a single flow, demonstrating how these heritages coexist across generations.

The title of the performance carries three meanings: "Connecting," signifying the transmission through people; "Existing," reflecting how the heritage is alive in contemporary life; and "Ripening," representing the journey of accumulating knowledge and skills over time.

The three heritage masters who planned the performance commented, "Transmission is not merely the repetition of the same thing, but a process of respecting different traditions, learning together, and growing together," adding, "We hope to convey that intangible heritage is a living culture that shapes both today and the future."
