Well….
I don’t know anything about Mass Games in North…
Is there any kind of help for me…?
Is there any ideas about rules and regulations of that game…?
If yes, post here…..

@Lisa: you dident’
I was just agreeing your post “too bad it’s North Korea.” and adding the precision about getting paid for performing in “others-more-open-countries”.

While the gymnastic work is impressive, I’m confused on a couple of points. First, group performance art such as this is not limited to communist countries. Why the “message”? And second, why is almost the entire video shots of individuals, when the point behind the art form is the collective presentation? Can we get a better video, please?

I think this in an excerpted clip from something else entirely.

Communism is NOT the same thing as socialism, nor is it the same thing as fascism. Just a friendly FYI.

pfelelep- When did I say they got paid o_O? Oh I’m sure they most probably don’t get paid at all.

I wish I could see the whole show. It looks very beautiful and impressive.

This was posted back in 2007. You’d probably have fewer duplicate posts if there was a better search feature on the site.

the performance was amazing (if a bit bittersweet due to the oppressive regime and all) but that video is incredibly annoying! just let me see whats happening! stop cutting and panning and let me see the actual performance!

This sort of thing the commo’s have always done well.

sorry, by “Circus” I meant “Olympics”.

Somehow the missing link between Circus and Musicals?

As LisaL said: it’s North Korea, I doubt the performers are paid regarding the huge training and efforts of theirs.

wow all i can think about is how many hours and hours and hours of practice this must have taken to look so great all put together, definitely impressive.

Very impressive…. too bad it’s North Korea.There’s obviously so much creativity and passion… if only they were allowed to see what the rest of the world offered.
