Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival's Themed Performance "Suwon Fantasy-Yajo" Opens on Oct. 7
The Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival, a signature cultural event in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, opened its themed performance, "Suwon Fantasy-Yajo," on October 7. Suwon City said on October 8 that performances will be held every evening at Yeonmudae through October 11.
"Suwon Fantasy-Yajo" is staged at Yeonmudae, once a real-world tactical training ground. It draws inspiration from "Yajo," a nighttime military drill in which King Jeongjo climbed Seojangdae at Suwon Hwaseong Fortress and personally commanded his escort unit, Jangyongyeong, on the fourth day of his royal procession in 1795, the Eulmyo year.
The performance is a signature feature of the Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival, bringing together a torchlight procession, equestrian performances, military choreography, fireworks, and sound effects. Around 100 citizen actors recruited in advance take part in various roles, including court ladies, generals, and soldiers.
