That\u2019s pansori.\u201d Apparently, this adage also applies to films about pansori, a Korean traditional form of musical storytelling that mixes blues and opera. With plenty of tears, laughs, and cheers, The Sound of a Flower provides a stellar showcase for the angelic face and voice of Bae Suzy (member of the K-pop group Miss A), who plays Jin Chae-sun, the first female pansori singer, who risked her life to pursue her dream at a time when it was forbidden for women to sing in public. Disguised as a man, Chae-sun gains entry to the illustrious pansori academy run by master Shin Jae-hyo (Ryoo Seung-ryong), but when her ruse is exposed, she must literally sing for her life in front of the Prince Regent Heungseon Daewongun (Kim Nam-gil). Does she have what it takes or will she be killed in disgrace? (Spoiler alert: she does and she won\u2019t). Presented with the support of Korean Cultural Center New York.<\/p>\n<p>For tickets visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmlinc.org\/films\/the-sound-of-a-flower\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.filmlinc.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, July 07 06:15pm SVA Theatre 333 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10011<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65401"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65403,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65401\/revisions\/65403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
