Madang
Madang (old German name: ''Friedrich-Wilhelmshafen'') is the capital of Madang Province and is a town with a population of 27,420 (in 2005) on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. History Nicholai Miklukho-Maklai was probably the first European to visit the area. In 1871 he stayed at Astrolabe Bay south of present-day Madang for 15 months. He had a good relationship with the local communities before leaving, suffering from malaria. In April 1884 an expedition by the German New Guinea Company led by Otto Finsch and Eduard Dallmann arrived and named the landing point "Friedrich Wilhelmshafen"; however, they felt that the area was unsuitable for a settlement. A subsequent survey in 1888 mentioned good soil conditions that would make a coffee plantation possible. In the summer of 1891 a station was built and by September 1892 was the seat of the provincial administration; however, the Imperial Government Commissioner remained at Stephansort, some 23 kilometers away due to conc ...

Madangguk
Madangguk or Madanggeuk () is a theatrical art form that sprung up in South Korea in light of the Minjung Movement. The word "madang" () means "yard" whilst "guk" () means "theatre". Thus, literally, it means yard theatre, which implies that this form of theatre was more personal or communal than formal or commercial. Madangguk was inspired by traditional Korean art forms such as talchum () or masked dance. Madangguk was popularized in the 1970s-1980s by South Korean university students during a time of political oppression. It was an attempt to create a counter dialogue against the government’s attempt to preserving certain art forms to create a strategic remembrance of Korean history. Madangguk became a popular dramatic art form used to express political and societal issues of post colonial South Korea and played a significant role in the Minjung Movement. History and influences Madangguk arose in the 1970s and was inspired by older Korean traditional art forms such as talc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
