주말, 참지못하고 꽁꽁싸매고 가버림. 휴지도 없이 눈물콧물 다쏟고 옴. 옥퀴리 최고오!👍 펑펑울면서 공연한 언니는 이와중에 이쁨..>< 얼마나 가혹하고 지독했을 그시대의 차별에도 끝까지 진실된 연구에 힘쏟는 멋진 과학자. 마리퀴리. 매력적이지 않을수없다. 코로나도 좀 잡아주기를.... 막공까지 화이팅이예욥!! _ #뮤지켤 #마리퀴리#옥퀴리 #옥주현 ♥️

Marie Qurie/Curie

Just a heads up, the 마리퀴리 Marie Curie musical will no longer be called “Marie Qurie” anymore as the company and subsequent press call videos have changed it since the 2018 premiere production. I’ve been sitting on this for a while but I’ve decided since the shows from the premiere back in 2018 and the show now in 2020 are completely different, with different songs and different set up (it only used to be one act but now it’s two).

I think it’s only fair to rename it to what’s currently in use now as that’s the name that videos on youtube and articles are calling it; simply “Marie Curie.” It’ll still continue to be tagged as “Marie Qurie” to make it easier searching through content against the actual historical figure on tumblr. The tag “Marie Curie Kmusical” will also be in use.

But fun little tidbit, the original name used to be a play on the words  “qurie” and “query”

In celebration of its 8 Korean Musical awards nominations, I thought it’d be cool to post my translations of the song for Marie Curie! Act 2 is also on my blog, featuring a character summary and a run down of the show! If you’re interested in this musical I recommend checking it out!

You have always been me / Your brilliant dreams makes me shine /  Even if I can’t see what’s ahead of me / I can always start again / Just as long as you are my star / Always there in the same place / You are my star, my one and only

Marie, why did you pursue science?

Because I’m curious. I can’t stand being curious. And so, when you experiment it’s called science. It doesn’t matter who does it so long as I can do it too. That’s why I do it, science.

"또 다른 이름 An Other Name” is posed as a song that calls into question everything that Marie knows; her entire outlook on life--and towards her legacy as well--is completely undone because of the danger it poses to Anne’s health. Over and over she equates herself with Radium as if she herself is the very reason why Anne is in danger; in essence ending act one with a declaration that is summarised into, yes, you are Radium, I am you, and you are hurting everyone that I love.

In the subsequent act, after Marie’s betrayal as she begs Anne to come back to her, Anne only tells her that “난 항상 너였어 I have always been you.“ Thus refuting Marie’s self sacrifice of subjecting herself to the effects of Radium poisoning, that in order to do so, she’d still be hurting Anne no matter what. She recognises that they are one and the same; she shares her dreams, her mistakes and shortcomings--her discoveries--they share those burdens together. And Marie replies “난 항상 또다른 너야 I have always been an other you” and rather than radium their greatest discovery was each other.

Marie is not just a name attached to an element; she is a living breathing person. And to hear another living breathing person say that I know you because I am you--I love you because you are me--says so much more about Marie’s legacy as a complex human being than a lump of rock that glows in the dark.

Me too, I want to find my own name / So when someone calls / I can answer without hesitation / Yes that’s me, recognise that it’s me / Where is my place? Where am I? / Where could it be? / What am I able to do? / Me? What am I? / Who am I? / Where am I?

Here it is, this thing, shining brilliantly / The one I’ve been so anxiously looking for / What do you call it when it shines this brilliantly? / Radius / Radius / Radius, Radium / Radium, truly, it’s you / Radium, it’s really you / Radium, it’s me

I’ve found it. Atomic number 226, 10 pure grams, after 45 months. Success in extraction.

It didn’t hurt, did it? No. And your leg? That’s why you couldn’t avoid the carriage, isn’t it? It wouldn’t have been any different if my leg was fine. Right now, it’s time to do your job. Pierre... As always, remove your emotions and look at the problem objectively. No, I can’t. I don’t think I can do this. Honey, you’re the kind of person when, if you don’t have the answer, will find one. It’s okay, I’m okay. You always said it was okay... So it’ll be okay this time too.
