AI-Revived Wife, Original Musical 'You & It' Opens on the 21st

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] You&It, the winner of the 2019 Daegu International Musical Festival (DIMF) Original Musical Award, will open on the 21st at Dream Art Center Theater 2 in Daehak-ro.

You&It depicts a love story between Gyu-jin, a husband who resurrected his late wife as artificial intelligence (AI) in the near future, and Mina, the wife who returns as a clone. It addresses AI within everyday stories and envisions a world where humans and AI coexist.

You&It was introduced as a tryout performance in 2018 and was recognized for its artistic value by winning the Original Musical Award at the 13th DIMF last year. In this performance, in addition to Seo Hyung-hoon and Seo Chan-yang who previously participated, Kim Young-han, Baek Seung-ryeol, Yoon Jin-sol, Kwon So-i, and Seolhwa, selected through auditions held in March, will appear as Gyu-jin and Mina respectively.

You&It is a work created by EG Musical Company, a performance planning company, in collaboration with co-creators Lee Eung-gyu and Oh Seo-eun, who have consistently worked together, and choreographer Lee Jong-hyuk.

The performance runs until September 21, and tickets can be reserved on Yes24.
