First Korean Theatre Performance - The Dandelion's Story

When I first received the email from iTheatre about 'ace festival 2010', I was so excited because En Bi was now at a performance-going age. We'll now have a wider choice of performances to select from and watch. Of course, Seo Yeon will have to miss out on most of the fun this year. But come same time next year, no doubt we'll be enjoying performances, altogether.


The show venue was at the National Museum Theatre. Another first. We've never been to the National Museum to watch a performance, yet. Pretty interesting venue. This year, the National Museum of Singapore collaborated with I Theatre's ACE Festival to 'double the fun under one roof'. As part of the Children's Season at NMS, there were some activities for children that En Bi and Estelle were able to take part in prior to the theatre performance.

Now, to put the art piece on the wall.

Now, off to the performance!

About the Theatre Performance: The title in English sounds nice, "The Dandelion's Story". However, in Korean, it's "강아지똥", literally meaning "Puppy's Poo". I found the message "Nothing God made is useless" very meaningful and it was an immediate draw for me to want to watch this performance, despite the 'ugly' Korean name.


En Bi enjoyed the performance tons. I believe the same went for Estelle, Kimi, and Shanyce, In fact, I enjoyed the performance though I was a little worried about the language initially. Kudos to the actors from Modl Theater for their efforts put into this English performance. We understood them well enough to get very engrossed in the performance.  And hopefully, we all continue to remember that 'nothing God made is useless'.
