Original by Hans Christian Andersen/ Libretto and Directed by Namoo Chae Lee/ Music by Jihyun Kim/ Starring Seungil Yang, Seulgi Paek, Suyeon Lee, Miyeong Kim / Phtographed by Chae Calvin Lee

“The Emperor’s bottom is like a monkey’s rump—bare and on parade.
Only saying what he wants to say, our lying Emperor will one day find his lies exposed, just like that, stark naked for all to see.”

When the old Andersen sat alone in an empty theatre, the world of imagination unfolds,
and it transforms into each seasons. —spring, summer, autumn, and winter. And there, he meets a young Andersen. A world of imagination created with a single crayon.

"Ahahaha, the Emperor is naked!"

Adults who cannot speak the truth until a child voices it—a charming fairy tale that cleverly satirises how truth shifts depending on the situation! A delightful satire for both children and adults to enjoy together!

With a spectacular fashion show performed by paper dolls, satirical lyrics, and lively music, Andersen’s new family fairy tale, The Emperor’s New Clothes, promises enjoyment for audiences of all ages.
