Maybe not in epic but I went to cirque recent’s and saw this
And I just had to share
See, every time Jorge mentions Cirque du Soleil being a possible inspiration for a live stage version, I get excited all over again by the possibility of puppetry. The show Awakening is a great example of what can be done with large puppets, both remotely controlled, and those moved by humans!! I think that style of puppetry would be amazing in Epic, particularly for all the creatures such as Polyphemus, Scylla, and maybe even some of the gods. And the fight between Circe and Odysseus too!!!
(shown below are two examples of Puppets from Awakening that I adore, and whose technology I can 100% see being in Epic!!!!)
BPP if you had carte blanche to choose a concept or collab for Jimin, who would you choose?

In a perfect world, if I called the shots and had any influence over Jimin's career, I'd insist he create an entire album collaborating with the troupe.
When I think of theatrical excellence, knife-edge precision in skill, elaborate spectacle... I think of Jimin in his most natural state. And the only group of people capable of creating a vision par to his virtuosic skill, isn't Jungkook, it isn't some other k-pop idol, it's not even a singer. It's the circus.
Jimin is a bit of a freak and he will shine best surrounded by his kind. Anyone who has ever seen a Cirque du Soleil show would know what I mean. The troupe is filled with consummate professionals who put their lives on the line for their craft, they use their bodies to show their skill, and commit everything towards telling the story. That's who Jimin is too.
The troupe has created full concepts with musicians before, such as for their Michael Jackson ONE and The Beatles LOVE productions. So they'd have some prior experience to work well with Jimin. Also, many of the performers in the troupe are classically trained dancers, and so they'd be able to complement Jimin's dance style/movements seamlessly.
Of course Jimin would compose much of the music himself, but the bits with the troupe would have more theatrical elements. For the sake of it, since I'm already being quite ridiculous with this request, for collabs I'd love to have Enya and ASAP Rocky work with Jimin. ONE OK ROCK and Tablo would be nice too. And Yoongi.
Anyway, that's likely never going to happen. But if I could will it into being, I would.
Screw it, if my comic is going to have an epic theme song one day it is going to be this one!!! No one can change my mind!!!!

This photoshoot is magnificent
I made a Cirque du Soleil type drawing with Piko yesterday.
