Mago is a multidisciplinary performance installation integrating music, dance, animation, ritual and Korean shamanism.
The Korean word, PURI refers to the relieving and releasing of suppressed or suffering spirits. Dohee Lee created the PURI Project in 2004 as way to incorporate multiple art forms to bring meaning to people’s lives and vitality to their souls. The project fulfills Dohee Lee’s goal to continually explore interdisciplinary collaborations in her fight for peace and social justice in Spirituality.
