The State Theatre "ASTANA MUSICAL" has presented a new Broadway-style musical, "ZEIYIN". The performance addresses the pressing theme of how modern technology and artificial intelligence impact human life and relationships with loved ones.
The protagonist, Zeyin, devotes most of his time to work and increasingly relies on an AI-driven robot to help him manage everyday tasks. Striving for efficiency and success, he gradually drifts away from his mother and his beloved girlfriend, Inkar. Through his story, the creators invite the audience to reflect on how people choose to spend the time that modern technologies help them save.
The story unfolds through music, choreography, and stage action. More than ten musical pieces were specially composed for the production—ranging from modern rhythms and lyrical compositions to a waltz and a lullaby.
The show features 30 artists. The lead role is performed by Aliulla Shauenov. The project's artistic director is Yeslyam Nurtazin, and the director is Darkhan Baigozhayev.
