Arirang Festival (from August --October)

Photo: Arirang Festival (from August --October) rated Rating: 5.5 by 2 members

100, 000 North Korean residents trained for a year to perform at the Arirang Festival (The Mass Games). The state's immense, immaculately choreographed display of culture, one of the rare events to which foreigners are invited. The huge backdrops are made from human pixels, 50��000 of performers holding sequences of coloured placards. this was communist precision at its best.

The sights unfolding across from us were amazing. The flowers you see in the picture above are part of one large image - a collage formed by 50, 000 people holding large, colored cards above their heads.

With a shout from the director a low roar would roll across the stadium as people flipped or switched their cards to make the next image. It was like a giant slide show only with the pictures being formed, one by one, by 50, 000 people working in unison. A different image rolled across the whole far side of the stadium every couple of seconds, all coordinated with tens of thousands of other performers on the stadium floor. This was going to be something special . .
