[K-MUSICAL] Edith Piaf's rosy reincarnation-CHOI JUNG WON

 

Edith piaf CHOI JUNG WON

In 1915, a girl named Edith Giovanna Gashon was born on the 72nd Street in Beir, a slum in Paris, France.

After spending her childhood in a whorey village, she lived four years as blind and began singing on the streets after dramatically recovering.

After her talent was discovered by pub owner Louise Leffle, she makes her debut as a singer with the stage name "Little Sparrow," but she is accused of murder and retires.

In 1935, she rose again with the encouragement of poet Raymond Aso and female composer Margrit Mono.

Edith Piaf, called 'Voice of France'.

She threw all her life away for love, and in return, she got a impoverished life, alcohol and drug addiction and liver cancer.

To be able to call blood rosy is a privilege that only those who have lived their lives fiercely can have."

Piaf, who was saying this, gave up her "rose-colored life" in 1963 while her 23-year-old young husband, her last love, watched. She was 48 years old.

The play "Piaf" is based on the life of Edith Piaf, who is revered as the best chanson singer of the 20th century.

The work released by British playwright Palm Gems in 1978 reveals the dramatic ups and downs of her life from Piaf's unhappy childhood to the peak of her life.

Piaf's masterpieces, such as "La vie rose" "Hymne a l'amour" and "Non, je ne regrette rien" which are sung in a sad accordion and piano melody, wriggles on the stage.

I can't help but pay attention to who plays the role of Piaf, who has to express the joy, sadness, and loneliness of a genius artist with even madness.

CHOI JUNG WON, the best diva in the Korean musical, brings out the soul of Piaf.

On the open stage, she moves time to the past or the future by changing her costume without leaving the stage for a moment throughout the performance.

"Love is the power that makes you sing. For me, love without songs does not exist, and songs without love do not exist."

Piaf said in an interview shortly before she died.

The echo is still in effect nearly 50 years after her death.
