Synopsis
The story told by the storyteller on stage is about the clever frog Chico. When Chico finds himself in trouble, the quick-witted chick Bafi comes to his aid and saves him from death.
By order of King Lion — Elvin — a gathering is held in the forest. Fox Lacy, Bear Wilber, Pig Dudi, and Donkey Roxy unanimously decide to offer the helpless chick to the lion for breakfast. This is where a great and exciting adventure begins.
When Bafi falls into despair, Frog Chico appears as his rescuer. Chico devises a plan to help the chick escape from the forest, while the animals do everything they can to prevent them from achieving their goal.
In the end, Frog Chico defeats Elvin through intelligence and wit. The lion perishes while fighting his own reflection. The animals, once hostile toward one another, become friends and happily choose the frog as their king.
The performance explores important and timely themes such as courage, selflessness, intelligence, education, friendship, and cleverness.
Through the actors’ high level of artistry, an original directorial concept, and original music composed especially for the performance, a fairytale atmosphere is created on stage, leaving the audience with an unforgettable impression.
