A new musical 'Shadow' reinterprets the tragic story of Crown Prince Sado (a historical figure known for his tragic death in confinement) through a unique blend of historical fantasy and rock music. The musical uses time travel as a narrative device, focusing on the relationship between Sado and King Yeongjo. The minimalist stage, dominated by steel structures, contrasts with the powerful rock music that highlights the emotional tension. The production seeks to make the historical tragedy relatable to modern audiences, delving into universal themes of familial conflict and miscommunication.
