Musical 'Sidereus' Meeting on CGV Screens

"Simultaneous Spotlight on Three Cast Members with Split Editing"

CGV announced on the 9th that it will screen the live performance of the original musical 'Sidereus' for two weeks starting from the 11th. The work is famous for its stage production that feels like being in space, along with beautiful lighting and visuals. It depicts the story of 17th-century astronomers Galileo and Kepler exchanging letters as they seek the truth about stars and the universe.

The screening will feature the live performance held last October at Artwin Theater. Actors Park Minseong, Jung Ukjin, and Hong Jihee star in the production. For the theater screening, it was filmed with eight high-definition cameras and edited over two months. Park Jungyu, head of CGV ICECON Content Business Team, said, "Through split editing, all three cast members are shown simultaneously," adding, "Combined with the large screen and high-quality sound, it will provide an immersive experience that cannot be felt in regular performances."

This screening is jointly organized by CGV and the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service. The two organizations signed an agreement in December 2019 to revitalize regional performing arts content by filming works from the Performing Arts Creation Workshop and screening them in theaters. Accordingly, last year, four performances?'The Woman Fixing the Chair,' 'Hit & Run,' 'Complete Pansori Project 2: Gangsanje Sugunga,' and 'Antemosa'?were shown on screen. In the first half of this year, starting with 'Sidereus,' six works will be screened, including musicals 'HOPE' and 'Inside William,' the play 'The Road to Cannes,' traditional art 'New Simbanggok,' and the dance piece 'Silent Circulation.'
