Get ready for a unique theatrical experience with the upcoming performance of 'Code:True,' an AI action comedy that promises to keep audiences entertained with its humor and action-packed moments. Scheduled to take place from June 24 to June 28, 2026, at the Echo Theatre in Ebisu, Tokyo, this production by EVIDENT PROMOTION is set to ignite the stage with its innovative storytelling and dynamic cast.
The Storyline
The narrative revolves around the protagonist, Asahina Makoto, who used to be a police officer. Following a critical incident where he unintentionally caused the death of a notorious criminal, Doujima Zetto, he resigns from the force. Now, alongside his AI companion, Lumina, Makoto runs an investigative agency, taking on various cases.
As the story unfolds, Makoto finds himself developing complex feelings for Lumina, raising questions about love between humans and AI. The arrival of a highly sophisticated android—designed to be indistinguishable from humans—and its connection to Doujima complicates matters further. This leads to comedic yet thought-provoking scenarios as Makoto navigates his feelings for Lumina while confronting societal prejudices against AI-human relationships.
