Project Overview
This project is a theatrical retelling of the popular story The Enchanted Horse from 1,001 Nights, presented through a unique musical trilogy. Inspired by the recent trend of adapting classic narratives into musicals (e.g., Hamilton and Mean Girls), this adaptation aims to breathe new life into an age-old tale by blending storytelling and musicality in a modern context.



Creative Vision
The adaptation reimagines the original story with an emphasis on depth and inclusivity. While the original piece focuses predominantly on male characters, this retelling introduces a more nuanced portrayal of all key players, particularly the woman, whose struggles and triumphs are pivotal yet underexplored in the original.

• First Song: Musical theatre or jazz influences depict the character selling the enchanted horse, exploring his motivations and complexity.
• Second Song: A romantic R&B piece adds emotional depth to the love story, emphasizing the connection and chemistry between the protagonists.
• Third Song: A heartfelt ballad provides the woman’s perspective, delving into her personal challenges, agency, and triumphs, offering a more balanced narrative.

Production Process
The project involved several stages of creative development, including:

1. Songwriting: Crafting lyrics and melodies that authentically represent the characters and storyline.
2. Music Writing: Composing music in distinct genres to reflect the emotional tone and themes of each part.
3. Recording: Capturing high-quality audio for the songs using professional-grade equipment.
4. Mixing and Mastering: Fine-tuning the audio using Logic Pro to ensure a polished final product.
5. Lyric Video Creation: Designing engaging visuals to accompany the music and enhance the storytelling experience.

Goals and significance
This retelling not only revives a cherished story but also modernizes it for contemporary audiences. By blending diverse musical genres and giving voice to previously sidelined characters, the project seeks to offer a fresh perspective that resonates emotionally while staying rooted in its cultural heritage. This musical trilogy celebrates the art of storytelling while addressing the underrepresentation of women in traditional narratives. It serves as both a tribute to and a reimagination of one of the most famous tales from 1,001 Nights, ensuring its themes and lessons continue to inspire new generations.
