ORIGIN

Premiered in 2021 in Seoul. Created by writer-lyricist Han Jian and composer and music director Park Jung-ah, produced by Star’s Home. Developed through a tryout staging before its full premiere.

STORY

Nova is a 40-year-old singer-songwriter who has spent thirteen years performing without success, working part-time jobs while still hoping to support his ill mother. One night, after another indifferent audience at the pub Stardust, he is approached by a mysterious figure in green gloves who claims to be an agent from outer space. The stranger insists that Nova is already a superstar on another planet and offers him fame, money, and devoted fans—if he leaves Earth forever. Nova must decide whether to abandon his stagnant life or stay and continue to struggle as an unknown artist.
