[Summoners War: Lost Centuria] Grandma, Have you seen my Globe?

Image
https://youtu.be/Kws-Krfwa5A https://youtu.be/CzRGcY569gA This was one of the most fun shoots that I have had - especially because I was the sole actor. The Korean actor, Mr. Jin Soen Kyu and I were filmed separately. I was sad because we had actually appeared together in the movie "Space Sweepers" and I was looking forward to saying hello again! Then it happened.  We met briefly at the voice-over session. I wasn't sure if he'd remember me but he recognized me right away when he saw me. It was an exciting moment!    I don't know anything about the video game but if you are a gamer you might enjoy checking it out!

  13th Gwangju Biennale 2021 - Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning; Reviving Artistic Expression Review by Kim Miso aka Rahel Limor, April 1, 2021 Programs continue until May 9, 2021 Website: 13thgwangjubiennale.org Journal: 13thgwangjubiennale.org/minds-rising The most important element to living a joyous life is the presence of the arts. Artists share their innate talent to create, document, uplift and bring joy into what may be otherwise regarded as routine and mundane. In spite of the restrictions imposed upon us since the outbreak of the Corona virus (aka COVID-19), the city of Gwangju revels in bringing the arts to life again with the 13 th Gwangju Biennale. Artistic directors Ms. Defne Ayas and Ms. Natasha Ginwala overcame tremendous obstacles to bring forth an impressive array of artists and their works. The main Gwangju Biennale Hall offers free entrance for visitors of all ages to enjoy exhibitions that are beautiful-to-the-eye, thought-provoking and inspiri

  FIDDLER ON THE ROOF – The Musical - 스테이지 _ 뮤지컬 ' 지붕위의 바이올린 ' Review by Kim Miso aka Rahel Limor April 28 - May 16, 2021; The Seoul Musical Troupe at the Sejong Center for the Arts 175, Sejong-do, Jongro-gu, Seoul, South Korea, Tel: 02-399-1000, Web:  http://www.sejongpac.or.kr/    The musical, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, first appeared in 1964 in New York on Broadway. It has since become a classic masterpiece that is loved worldwide. This is the story of a Jewish family living in a shtetl , a s mall town called Anatevka in 1905 Russia. Touching upon themes of family relationships, community bonds, age-old traditions versus modern trends, and questions of faith it is a story that all ages can understand and relate to.    It was a mixed pleasure to see and experience this musical here. I have seen the performance many times over a few decades so I was eager to see it again. I am one of the few Jews living in South Korea and I am happy to report that Koreans are par

I'm a Journalist in Korea17: “Viulisti / The Violin Player” & The 15th Jecheon International Music Film Festival

 “Viulisti / The Violin Player”  & The 15th Jecheon International Music Film Festival   Review by Kim Miso aka Rahel Limor     The 15th Jecheon International Music Film Festival opens on April 15th with the movie, “Viulisti / The Violin Player”, a movie from Finland with Korean subtitles. It offers a glimpse into the trials and suffering of a master musician who can no longer work her craft.     As a musician myself I can honestly imagine how losing one’s physical ability would definitely result in an emotional pain that is almost unbearable. Music-making is not just about perfecting the instrument of choice. It’s about digging deeply into one’s soul and pouring your guts out through that instrument. It is, and I quote from the script, “to be inside of your soul”. In this case the instrument of choice is the violin. The musician is Finnish actress Matlina Kusniemme who is herself not only an actress but also a master violinist in real life.     Anyone who is passionate about

Free My Soul, Free My Song – The Story of Fingerstyle Guitarist Kim Ji Hee   Review by Kim MiSo aka Rahel Limor      I first met Ms. Kim Ji Hee in the summer of 2018. I was a traveler touring in Seoul. I had just enjoyed a concert featuring some very talented Korean finger-style guitarists and was lingering around as the audience dispersed when a woman approached me. She and her daughter had been sitting behind me during the performance. The woman introduced herself and then turned to her daughter. “This is my daughter, Kim Ji Hee. She is a finger-style guitarist too”, she said. The young girl gave a shy smile. We talked a bit asking the usual questions one asks when just meeting. I, too, am a guitarist from America traveling and touring here in South Korea. We exchanged business cards and snapped a few pictures together. Perhaps one day we might meet again. Honestly I never expected we would. In fact, I never expected to stay in Korea longer than a month or two but as things g

  “ GWANGJU – The Musical” at the LG Arts C enter, April 13-25, 2021 Review by Kim Miso aka Rahel Limor, April 24, 2021 “ Remembrance is not a duty imposed on someone out of responsibility,. Our histories and memories are part of what constitutes our lives and beings.” - Lee Sun, Sooyoung Learn An event occurred in the city of Gwangju that forever changed the nature of South Korea. The “Gwangju Uprising / 오일팔” began on May 18 and continued until May 27, 1980. An estimated six hundred (600) people were killed. It all began when a group of students set out to protest against the authoritarian government. This resulted essentially in what could be regarded as a massacre when the government sent in troops to squelch the protesters. Following the incident local citizens took up arms initiating what was to become a movement or movements around the country for the democratization of South Korea. The uprising is also known as the “Gwangju Democratization Struggle / 광주 민주화

I'm a Journalist in Korea 14: MOVIE REVIEW: “ADAM”

Image
  MOVIE REVIEW: “ADAM” by Kim MiSo aka Rahel Limor   “ADAM” or “ANYWAY, ADAM” (아무튼, 아담 (원제: Adam) ) is the moving story of one person’s return to life following a tragic accident. Based on a true story we first meet Adam as a very self-assured, confident, cocky and slightly arrogant young man. He is successful in business and enjoys an active social life. Suddenly and unexpectedly Adam finds himself facing extraordinary challenges following a life-changing accident.     This movie walks us through Adam’s return to “normal” life. We follow him through his ups and downs, his struggles, both physical and emotional, and the questions, choices and decisions he, his family, friends and colleagues must make as he adapts to his new situation. There are many movies in this genre and sadly there are many stories like Adams that help to raise awareness of this sort of struggle. Nevertheless Adam’s touching story forces us to ask and reflect on some hard questions about how we live our lives. Wh

I'm a Journalist in Korea 13: The Dancing Museum

Image
I  recently had the privilege to attend a children's ballet presentation entitled, "The Dancing Museum" presented by the  Seoul Ballet Theater . What a treat it was! Employing today's digital media art technology the audience, which included children and their parents, was completely and fully engaged as so many famous paintings literally came alive right before our eyes! Characters seemed to jump right out of each painting and onto the stage. It was thrilling. Just like magic. The main actor found herself overcome with joy as she engaged with each new character. She, and we, learned so much from each one. The ballet tells the story of a museum curator and employee who find themselves magically engaged with art masterpieces by famous artists such as  Leonardo da Vinci and  Edgar Degas. The children's gaze never left the stage. The ballet production simply held the audiences' attention throughout, from beginning to end. You could see it in their faces as th
