Specific Information

Bangsangsi and Chorani, exocists of mysterious powers who repel evil spirits and bad luck!
They are awakened by 'Sangwibok (a ritual that king's servant goes to the rooftop and signals the death of king, by grabbing king's red gown).
The king issues the royal command to guide him to the royal tomb, leaving Bangsangsi and Chorani with his most favorite grave goods.

Can Bangsangsi and Chorani travel across the rough road, leading the king's state funeral, and arrive at the royal tomb, in which queen was buried?

'Garden of the Gods' which involves the convergence of fantasy world beyond the reality and imagination, was embodied into state-of-art stage technique, against the backdrop of the real space in linkage with Hongsalmun (a red gate with spiked top), and Jeongjagak (a T-shaped house for sacrifice before a royal tomb) of the royal tombs of kings of the Joseon Dynasty. Plus, this performance was upgraded with these new characters appearing.

The mysterious characters Bangsangsi and Chorani guide the spectaculars to the grand adventure world, singing fantastic songs and dancing, in the course of holing the state funeral ceremony of the Joseon Dynasty, say, performing the Sangwibok (a ritual that king's servant goes to the rooftop and call to bring back the Holy Spirit), → Chijang (building the royal tomb), → Barin (leaving for the royal tomb) → Boomyo (enshrining mortuary tablet in royal ancestral shrine, three years after the mourning for the deceased).
