In 15th-century Korea, boy King Danjong was overthrown and poisoned by his ambitious uncle. His loyal followers sacrificed everything to protect him, while Queen Jeongsun spent 64 years dyeing cloth in mourning, refusing royal aid and preserving his memory. This musical blends modern melodies with traditional Korean percussion and folk rhythms, culminating in a requiem that transcends time. Playful spirits add moments of humour, guiding you through the boy king's tragic fate and inviting reflection on love and loss. A mesmerising tale of destiny and devotion, where every tear and smile echoes through history.
