Ming Ri Institute for Arts Education will stage a new children's puppet show titled "The Dragon who can't Spark" in May and June.
The story centres on a sad little dragon who stays in his cave all day long because he is unable to produce fire like his friends can. One day, when it is raining heavily, a tiny insect comes along and boldly talks to the little dragon. What an interesting adventure lies ahead of them! Details of the performances are as follows:
