Synopsis

​ The once-misfit percussion team Tago is headed to the Netherlands for their first solo tour, but tickets aren't selling like they should. Tickets aren't selling, and the audience isn't exactly thrilled. Mistakes abound and their bodies don't listen. Will this group of imperfect people ever be able to knock on the door of a bigger stage?

Program Note

​ TAGO, a Korean traditional music ensemble comprising male performers specializing in percussion instruments, has recently arrived in the Netherlands. Their captivating performances are deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Korean music. Having successfully participated in the esteemed Edinburgh Fringe Festival, they have now been granted an opportunity to embark on a tour across 22 cities in the Netherlands. Despite facing a myriad of challenges, each member remains genuinely concerned about the future of their collective. With the documentary Knock, TAGO aims to offer the audience an exciting glimpse into the much-anticipated "transformation of traditional Korean music" they seek. (Nam Sunwoo)
