Mass Games

North Korea is famous for its "mass games".

The performers sing and chant their loyalties to Kim il-sung, the KWP, and to the principle of Juche.

Famous quotes containing the words mass and/or games:

    The most dangerous aspect of present-day life is the dissolution of the feeling of individual responsibility. Mass solitude has done away with any difference between the internal and the external, between the intellectual and the physical.
    Eugenio Montale (1896–1981)

    At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
