MARIE CURIE
Hongik Daehangno Art Center, Grand Theater

The musical revolves around the life of Marie from the moment she discovers radium and a series of misfortunes after the discovery. The musical also sheds light on the marginalized life of the scientist who emigrated from Poland to France.
 
After premiering in 2018, the musical was chosen as New Musical of the Year by Arts Council Korea.
 
In making a return to the stage, “Marie Curie” is reportedly adding more drama to the relationship of Marie and Anne, a fictional character who is an employee working at a watch factory.
 
Through the relationship of the two female characters, the musical shows the growth of Marie.

Universal Ballet's "Onegin" [UNIVERSAL BALLET]

 
ONEGIN  
Chungmu Arts Center, Grand Theater  
July 18 - 26: Universal Ballet Company presents “Onegin.” The ballet is based on Alexander Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” and was choreographed by famed ballet dancer and choreographer John Cranko for the Stuttgart Ballet in 1965. Kurt-Heinz Stolze rearranged the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.  
 
“Onegin” premiered on home soil in 2009 by Universal Ballet Company.  
 
Unlike other famous ballet pieces such as “Swan Lake” and “The Sleeping Beauty” with fairy-tale love stories, “Onegin” depicts the realistic and entangled relationship between a man and a woman.
 
In order to maximize the emotions of the protagonists, Cranko reportedly used repetitive jumps and lifts throughout the performance.
