(Partial Synopsis)

Set in the early 20th century and later years in exile, the musical unfolds between the battlefields of Korea’s independence struggle and a theater in Kazakhstan, where a once-renowned general lives in obscurity.

The story centers on Hong Beom-do, a legendary independence fighter who led victorious battles such as Bongodong and Cheongsanri. In his later life, after forced migration to Central Asia, he works as a caretaker at a theater. There, his past and present begin to intertwine.

As a group of artists attempts to stage a play about his life, the narrative shifts between reenactments of his heroic past and reflections on his personal struggles, losses, and doubts. The work presents not only the mythologized hero but also the human being behind the legend.

Through this layered structure, the musical explores themes of memory, representation, and the role of theatre in preserving history, ultimately asking what it means to remember and portray a hero.
