It is necessary to expose the false propaganda of
the imperialists and thoroughly dispel the illusion
that the imperialists will give up their positions in
the colonies and dependent countries with good
will.

Mass Games at Ariang Festival
-photographs by Eric Lafforgue-
Mass games or mass gymnastics are a form of
performing arts or gymnastics in which large
numbers of performers take part in a highly
regimented performance that emphasizes group
dynamics rather than individual prowess. Because

performed in stadiums, often accompanied by a
background of card-turners occupying the seats on
the opposite side from the viewers. Mass games
are typically used to emphasize themes of political
propaganda.
Today, mass games are regularly performed only in
North Korea, where they take place to celebrate
national holidays such as the birthdays of rulers
Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. In recent years, they
have been the main attraction of the Arirang
Festival in Pyongyang.

Legend says that Kim Il Sung, using the two
pistols inherited from his father, founded the Anti-
Japanese Peoples Guerrilla Army (AJPGA), the
first of its kind in Korean history, in April Juche 21
(1932). So if you visit North Korea, you will see
many images of these two pistols" (Eric Lafforgue).

Pyongyangs May Day Stadium
-photographs by Eric Lafforgue-
The photo shows 100,000 people performing a
choreographed dancing and gymnastics routine on
the pitch of Pyongyangs May Day stadium. In the
background, 20,000 performers flip colored cards
to form detailed pictures. . . .This picture is
supposed to be Pyongyang at night, which is funny
because Pyongyang at night is dark.
