Actor Kim Hi-ra from The Glory plays Frida Kahlo in the musical 'Frida'.
Musical 'Frida', produced by EMK Musical Company, will be performed at NOL Uniflex Hall 1 in Seoul from the 17th of next month to September 7th. The role of Frida, a great painter who did not lose his will and passion for life despite the pain, was played by Kim So-hyang, Kim Ji-woo, Kim Heera, and Jeong Yu-ji.
Musical 'Frida' is a show musical that presents the final life of 'Frida Kahlo' in a framed form, which has not lost its joy of life while living in pain all his life after an accident. It captures the last moments of Frida Kahlo, a passionate artist who proudly confronted the darkness in an original form, and conveys the message of passion and healing for life found in pain through the message "VIVA LA VIDA!" she left behind.
The intensely colored flowers that have recently bloomed under the hot Mexican sun and the appearance of a four-member four-color frida who has completed his own atmosphere in the grass are drawing attention. In particular, Kim So-hyang, Kim Ji-woo, Kim Hi-ra, and Jung Yu-ji, who posed with the red wreath, the symbol of Frida Kahlo, were deeply immersed in Frida's life, signaling the appearance of Frida they will portray in the main performance.
Kim So-hyang, who has been praised for showing a high-quality stage during the last premiere and re-enactment, stared straight ahead with an unwavering deep gaze, capturing the anguish and strength of Frida as an artist. Kim Ji-woo, who newly joined this season, depicted Frida's hard inner side in three dimensions based on his unique delicate emotional performance, and raised questions about the narrative he will perform in the main performance.
Kim Hi-ra, who was praised for his outstanding emotional performance during the last reenactment, expressed Frida's strong personality and deep charisma, and raised his interest in Frida, who will return deeper. Jung Yu-ji created a mysterious atmosphere by hugging her body with her eyes lowered, and at the same time, she predicted the fresh charm of Frida, who loved her life until the marshmallow.
'Frida' was loved by a golden duo in the creative musical world, director Yoo Sang-hwa, composer-music director Heo Soo-hyun, and choreographer Kim Byung-jin, and was praised for establishing a new standard for small theater creative musicals.
