The Korean premiere of "Life of Pi" (produced by S&CO) has released a photo of the characters of Pi and the Bengal tiger Richard Parker with only six days left until the opening on the 2nd of next month. It captures the tense moment of confrontation that seems to be rushing in any moment, and makes us look forward to the intense performance of the two actors, Park Jung-min and Park Kang-hyun, who will meet on stage soon.
The starved giant tiger, and the boy who has to face each other with his whole body, the character Photo captured the moment they confronted each other, searching for each other ahead of the fight between Pie and Richard Parker over survival. You can't take your eyes off the pie of Park Jung-min and Park Kang-hyun, who capture the character's narrative with just eyes and facial expressions, and Richard Parker, who exudes a living and breathing presence in front of your eyes. It raises questions about how their confrontation and journey will unfold in the form of fear ahead of a flashpoint and a strong will to fight to the end.

Pi, who has to push his physical and emotional capabilities to the limit, is a challenging role as an actor, especially as he demands acting that has to make the existence of his opponent, Puppet, a reality. In that sense, Park Jung-min and Park Kang-hyun's pie has become a hot topic early on. This is because it is highly rare to see the performances of two actors on stage, who are considered to be popular actors in each field due to their high reliability in acting. It raises expectations about what kind of performance the two actors, who are deeply immersed in the work and characters, will perform.
Jan Mattel's Man Booker Award bestselling original novel, set following the film of the same name, won major awards, including best picture, directing, acting and various stage arts categories, including three Tony Awards and five Olivier Awards. "Incredible wonder" (Times), "Extraordinary journey, a piece that should never be missed." (The Guardian) and other audiences and critics. The spectacularness of the entire stage, such as the huge storm and the vast night sky facing the horizon, and the realistic acting and movement that seems to bring the Puppet to life are overwhelming. It will feature 27 actors and performers found by the original creative team, including Park Jung-min and Park Kang-hyun as Pai, Seo Hyun-chul as father, Hwang Man-ik as mother, and Joa and Song In-sung as mother. The Korean premiere of `Life of Pi" is set to open on Dec. 2 at the GS Art Center.
