< Act 1 > The Dance by Four Sangjwa

Four young monks(Sangjwa) are carried on stage one by one on the shoulders of other monks. After the young monks are placed on stage, the other monks leave. The young monks stand in a line, and when the music starts, they take their positions, one each in the north, south, east and west. They then bow to the spirits of the four directions.
The start of the dance, then, is solemn and ceremonial in nature, the purpose being to ward off various types of evil spirits. The music, too, is slow and stately in tempo, having been taken from a court music suite adapted originally from Buddhist ceremonial music. This 6/4 meter accompanimnet gives way to a lighter 12/8 meter that is more lyrical as the dance tempo is slightly accelerated. This brings the dance to an end. While this scene is being enacted, the first monk to appear in the second scene enters and falls down.


<Act 2 > The Dance by Mokchung

Instead of practicing asceticism according to Buddhist doctrine, the eight Buddhist monks prefer to engage in dancing and singing. One by one, each enters the stage and singing. One by one, each enters the stage and recites a song text with the music.
