A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the cultural and political phenomenon of North Korea's revolutionary opera, focusing on 'The Sea of Blood' (Pibada) and 'The Flower Girl' (Kkotpanneun Cheonyeo). These operas, personally guided or written by Kim Il-sung and later Kim Jong-il, were used to cement the Kim family cult and propagate Juche ideology. Lucas traces the origins from Kim Il-sung's anti-Japanese guerrilla theater to the 1971 masterpiece 'The Sea of Blood', which features a motif of a mother rising from oppression. He explains how Kim Jong-il, then a rising figure in the Workers' Party, took credit for the opera's creation, using it to solidify his succession. The conversation delves into the operas' musical style—a fusion of traditional Korean pansori and Western orchestral elements—and their themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and revolutionary struggle. Lucas contrasts these state-sanctioned works with the suppressed traditional folk opera and discusses how performances are mandatory for citizens, with foreign troupes sent abroad as cultural propaganda. The episode also touches on the 2010 performance at the New York Lincoln Center, a rare cultural exchange. Ultimately, Lucas argues that these operas are not art but ritual, reinforcing the regime's total control over narrative and emotion.
