A Portrait of a Blind Girl

Based on a novel 'Kwang Hwa Sa' by Dong-In Kim (public domain)

Additional Music and Lyrics by Daniel Larsen

The Longing for Perfection in Imperfect Beings

"I will paint her—the most beautiful woman in the world..."
A tragic painter who creates the most breathtaking paintings but remains in seclusion, tormented by his own disfigured appearance.

"Can I really see the world?"
A blind girl with the most beautiful eyes, yet forever unable to see.

"I'm your wife?!"
A woman taking shape under the painter’s brush—a flawless beauty, yet merely an illusion, forever beyond his reach.

Inspired by Kim Dong-in’s novel Gwanghwasa, this musical blends a passionate story with modern harmonies and traditional Korean music. More than a simple aesthetic pursuit, it delves into the yearning for perfection among incomplete beings, presented through a visually striking structure and a shocking conclusion.

A one-night tale told by three actors and three musicians on a single set.
It sets a new standard for intimate theatre, striving to expand beyond Korea to North America and Europe, offering a fresh vision of Korean musical theatre to the global stage.
