Summary
An angel and a fallen angel intervene in Leonardo da Vinci’s creative crisis, competing over faith, temptation, and the destiny of an artist searching for inspiration.
Origin & Development
2016, written and composed by Lee Hee-jun and Lee Aram, produced by MJStarfish, premiered at JTN Art Hall 4 in Daehangno, Seoul. The musical combines historical fiction with theological fantasy, using 23 genre-blending numbers (rock, opera, aria, ballad) to dramatize the making of a masterpiece and the spiritual forces that shape an artist’s life.
Partial Synopsis
Luka, an angel assigned to guide chosen artists away from despair, descends to Earth after hearing Leonardo da Vinci’s desperate prayer for inspiration. However, the seductive fallen angel Valentino appears first, offering Leonardo brilliance through rebellion rather than faith. Mistaken identity, artistic doubt, and rivalry unfold through Leonardo’s apprentice Giacomo, who alone can see Luka. The musical reveals that the true conflict is not between Heaven and Hell, but between creation born of love and creation born of wounded pride.
