"Mad Hatter" is a creative musical about a mad mother-and-son who is a character in "Alice in Wonderland" released in 1865 by British children's storyteller Lewis Carroll, depicting a small but courageous resistance to freedom of existence through the journey of two boys who really want to find the hat they want.
The work, which consists of Gangnam writer who showed an intense narrative through musical 'Hope'Fominitz', composer Rika C who received attention through musical 'Mahagni', and director Orupina, who has been loved by many audiences in many works, deeply explores the meaning of 'Life to Choose' with delicate music and meticulous narrative that crosses reality and fantasy.
At the practice site of the musical 'Mad Hatter', which was released a week before the opening, the actors' delicate efforts and passion to realize the world in the work were intact.
Lee Han-sol, Lee Bong-joon, and Hong Ki-beom, who play the role of "Noah," are adding color to the character by expressing Noah's will and innocence, which are not broken even in front of the wall of reality. The layer of emotion built up in detail to capture the inner side of the person moving beyond survival toward true freedom adds to expectations.
Park Young-soo, Cho Sung-yoon, and Song Yoo-taek, who play the role of Jocelyn, fill the symbolism and imagination of the work by crossing various characters, including Jocelyn, Noah's friend and narrator of the story, Hector, factory worker, and homeless person. As the three actors have to embody a large number of characters, they are immersed in detailed interpretation and coordination of acting tones to complete different breaths and texture for each character.

Director Orupina, who leads the practice, defined the musical 'Mad Hatter' as a story of 'Waiting for a Better Future' and raised expectations for the work, saying she hopes that 'Courage, Imagination, and Freedom' in the work will continue to be delivered as support for those who dream.
Musical 'Mad Hatter', a new interpretation of familiar fairy tale characters, harmonizes fairytale imagination and philosophical questions and delicately depicts the point where reality and fantasy meet. The music and stage that expand along the texture of emotions complete a strange but fascinating 'Mad Hatter's own 'Strange World' to lead the audience to a moment of immersion. In addition, the various 'hat' appearing throughout the work is a device that liberates the suppressed self and will serve as another narrative that catches the audience's attention.
'Mad Hatter' will be performed at the Link Art Center Dream Hall 2 in Daehak-ro until January 18 next year.
