The play 'Record of Bones', which opened on the 4th, is set in a future where humanity is undertaking a planetary migration project. It explores human life and death through the perspective of 'Robis', an android mortician working in an underground morgue.
In the play, Lee Hyun-woo portrays 'Robis', an android who cannot comprehend human emotions. He intricately depicts the process of interacting and evolving through encounters with various characters, including the cleaner 'Momi'. From the emotionless nature of an android to the moments when he chooses to offer comfort to grieving families and make decisions based on 'what the heart does', Lee adds depth to his character, fully immersing the audience in the narrative.
Lee Hyun-woo has built a diverse portfolio across genres, including films like 'Secretly, Greatly', 'Northern Limit Line', 'Hero', and dramas such as 'A Good Day to be a Dog' and 'Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area'. Expanding his reach to the theater, he has received praise for his delicate psychological portrayals in roles like the mysterious student 'Christopher' in 'Sound Inside' and the startup CEO 'Ariel' in 'Anna X'. His solid skills have left a strong impression on stage.
A performance representative stated, "Lee Hyun-woo is an actor who passionately gives his all in every moment. He strives not to miss even the smallest detail, delivering lines with precision and conducting thorough analysis. He works closely with fellow actors to present a great performance to the audience, maintaining high focus in every show."
The play 'Record of Bones', featuring Lee Hyun-woo, is running at the Art Center's Jayu Small Theater until May 10th.
