#SHOWBIZ: Monkey King reimagined: Resorts World Genting, AGIBOT debut futurist robotic show

Resorts World Genting (RWG) and AGIBOT have joined forces to create an innovative robotic performance, Wukong Never Fades, inspired by the legendary Monkey King. The show, which premiered exclusively on August 29, features a 5-chapter production, blending elements of Chinese mythology with modern technology. The 1,000-seat Genting International Showroom became a fantastical stage as AGIBOT's robots assumed various roles throughout the performance.

The show aims to captivate a diverse audience by combining the richness of Chinese culture with contemporary entertainment. This collaboration between RWG and AGIBOT follows their strategic partnership since April 17, 2026, at the AGIBOT Global Partner Conference in Shanghai. The production not only highlights the potential of embodied AI but also demonstrates how technology can enhance storytelling, offering an engaging and meaningful experience for audiences. More details about the show can be found on rwgenting.com.
