[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The third season of the musical "Me, Natasha, and the White Donkey," inspired by Baek Seok's poem "Me, Natasha, and the White Donkey," continues at the Chungmu Art Center's Small Theater Black until January 17 next year.

"Me, Natasha, and the White Donkey" captures the love story of Jaya, who lived a lifetime of longing through love, like a poem, based on Baek Seok's poem. Writer Park Haerim and composer Chae Hanul developed it through the Uran Cultural Foundation's Siya Studio, and it premiered in early 2015, produced by Insight Entertainment Co., Ltd.

The third season performance features an expanded stage that makes full use of the Chungmu Art Center's round stage. Additionally, it newly presents a poetry pillar inscribed with Baek Seok's poem using a 3D pen and a railway stage expressing the lives of Baek Seok and Jaya.

Furthermore, "Me, Natasha, and the White Donkey" has confirmed a licensed performance in Japan next February. It is scheduled to premiere from February 3 to 28 at the Asakusa Kyugeki Theater in Japan. The Japanese premiere is hosted by Atlas, which has presented domestic original musicals such as "Smoke" and "Blue Rain" as licensed performances in Japan.

An Atlas representative said, "The musical 'Me, Natasha, and the White Donkey,' with Baek Seok's poetry and music, is indescribably poignant and beautiful," adding, "We believe that feeling will be conveyed to Japanese audiences as well."
