Radiation Exposure: Father and Daughter Escape Earth, Original Musical 'Robin' Opens

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The original musical "Robin" opened on the 1st at the KT&G Sangsangmadang Daechi Art Hall in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The protagonist Robin and his daughter Luna have left Earth to escape radiation exposure and live on a planet in space. After 10 years, they finally receive a return signal from Earth, but unexpected events occur.

"Robin" deals with the conflict and reconciliation between father and daughter, as well as the father's realistic worries and tender feelings toward his daughter. Kim Dae-jong, Kim Jong-gu, and Jung Sang-yoon play Robin, a genius scientist who is awkward in communicating with his daughter. Luna is played by Lim Chan-min and Choi Mi-so, and Park Jung-won, Choi Seok-jin, and Yoo Hyun-seok appear as Leon, an old-fashioned robot who mediates between the father and daughter.

"Robin" was staged after more than a year and a half of preparation following the CJ Cultural Foundation Stage Up reading performance in 2018. The stage, lighting, and video create a fantastic atmosphere as if a space bunker has been relocated onto the stage.

Before the opening, on the 10th of last month, key songs such as "Until the Day We Return," "Leon, Leon, Leon," "Chocolate Cake," "Twenty Steps," and "Goodbye with a Smile" were released in advance on music streaming sites.

The performance runs until August 2.
