Truly an "only on @theworld.org" kind of story - fascinating to learn of this legendary musical, seems like the Free to Be You and Me of Catalonia.
The beloved musical “Mar i Cel,” which premiered in 1988, is back on stages in Barcelona for a fourth, and perhaps final, time. The love story tackles dark issues like bigotry, deportation and cycles of violence — something that people say may be more relevant than ever today.

Chung Soon Deok (in red) has been a practicing shaman in South Korea for decades. She told me shamans are like intermediaries between the human world and the realm of gods, ghosts and spirits. Here, Chung was appeasing an annoyed mountain god, trying to help heal a man who'd recently had a stroke.
