The Dandelion's Story
¶ 11:57 AM
It was my intention to watch Charlotte's Web as I wanted to introduce this meaningful story but tickets were almost sold out and both Sharon and I decided to bring the girls to watch "The Dandelion's Story" last Saturday.
All of us loved how the character was fun, and parts of the plot was comical and easy to comprehend for young kids. To begin with, the main character was a doggie poo. And when I told sher that, she confirmed with me that "IT's SHIT AH?" So loud that others laughed. The story is based on a Korean fairytale written by Jung-Saeng Kwon. The costumes were brightly coloured for our visual captivation. We enjoyed it tremendously. And later on, we went on to explore the museum. This year's children season theme is Colourful Journeys to places, cultures, ideas, memories and new discoveries. How the museum is transformed to creative playground for kids and parents to bond, play and explore!
A glimpse of the story outline and background of the cast:
Modl Theatre’s lively and colourful presentation of Jung-Saeng Kwon’s children’s fairy tale best-seller has the unlikely theme of a doggy-poo that everyone rejects as disgusting, but who is finally welcomed by a dandelion seed to enable it to bloom, is brought to life with boundless charm and great visual appeal by the talented, young cast.
Delightfully costumed, these endearing characters’ movement and dance, inter-woven with comic action catchy tunes, maintain the pace under Jung-Sook Kim’s tight direction. Brown furry-clad Yoo-Sin Seol delights as cute Doggy-poo, sadly rejected by Clod of Earth, a large Sparrow, and a Mother Hen and her chicks. But borne by the Spring Wind, Dandelion Seed proves Doggy-poo is useful after all, as she bursts out of rain-washed poo into glorious yellow blossom. Modl Theatre triumphs with this very joyful piece with all-age appeal.

Hi there, Im a youth from a church and I am thinking of bringing the younger ones to the play. Would you tell me more about it? because this will be a church event, and the range for my group is from primary to university, i was wondering if the activity will be suitably interesting for the entire age range or just the lower half? Also, doggie poo sounds really cute and awsome to me, but given the basis and rationale of the outing, please advise me if the msgs sent across might be ambiguous or unsuitable for religious aspects. Also, if you have been to the other activities under this exciting Museum outreach programme for family and kids, do recommend some!:) with many thanks.
Hi Emmeline, I think the plot is light-hearted, definitely not unsuitable from the religious aspect. I think the kids will enjoy it by the humourous cast! Enjoy!!
I thought Shiro and Cherry Blossom seems like a gd play too, meaningful... try to chck out at sistic website. :)
