Produced by the Ming Ri Institute for Arts Education, which has many years of experience in puppet theatre, the entertaining children's puppet theatre play "What time is it, Uncle Fox?" will be staged in December.
Covering the themes of friendship, trust and dreams, the story focuses on Little Chick, who lives on a farm and is curious about the world outside. One day, Little Chick is attracted by a delicious aroma of food and decides to leave home in search of the mysterious chef.

And what is the unfulfilled dream of Uncle Fox?
