An announcement was made earlier in 2020 regarding the Mass Games performance returning for 2020 North Korean tours. Whilst the title of the show is yet to be announced, and with the ongoing closure of the North Korean borders due to COVID-19, we are expecting the Mass Games to make a return for 2022.
What is the Mass Games?
First performed in 2002, the Arirang Mass Games feature over 100,000 participants in a 90-minute display of gymnastics, dance, acrobatics, and dramatic performance. This, together with music and other effects, all comes together wrapped in a highly politicized and synchronized package. It also features the ‘largest picture in the world’ – a giant mosaic of 18,000 students each holding a book whose pages link with their neighbours to make up one gigantic scene.
