SYNOPSIS

(Full Synopsis)

Set in 2096, the musical unfolds in Oran City, a seemingly perfect society where a centralized system controls citizens’ desires and happiness.

When an unidentified disease begins to spread, causing sudden deaths, Doctor Rieux recognizes it as the plague and warns of its danger. However, the city authorities ignore his warnings, and the central government ultimately seals off the city.

As the system begins to collapse under the pressure of the epidemic, the controlled order disintegrates. Citizens, no longer restrained by the system, reveal their true natures—some resist, some comply, and others exploit the crisis.

Amid chaos, individuals are forced to confront moral choices, questioning whether to preserve humanity, seek survival, or succumb to fear. The narrative ultimately explores how people respond when structure disappears and only human will remains.

​제작 노트

Peste is a Korean original jukebox musical composed of songs by Seo Taiji, based on Albert Camus’ novel The Plague. The 2016 premiere reinterpreted the original story in a futuristic dystopian setting rather than the original 20th-century Algeria. While praised for its experimental music arrangement and visual staging, the production received mixed reviews due to narrative coherence and adaptation challenges.
