Programs
Book’s Art Journey is a family-friendly show that's perfect for watching with your kids. The Korean title, Bookgeukgom, refers not only to a polar bear that lives in the Arctic but also to a bear that loves to read books. The main characters are Book Bear and his friend Tori, who left the North Pole when the ice melted. The receive letters of concern from their young friends, which they take from the book tree and read them.
Book Bear and Tori not only read picture books but also meet the historical figure Yu Gwan-sun, make Taegeukgi, the national flag of Korea, and shout "hooray" for Korea's independence. They also reflect on how to protect the environment so polar bears can return to the Arctic. Through these adventures, the young audience becomes familiar with books and gradually expands their thinking.
The show varies from Episode 0-3, depending on the schedule, but each episode engages the young audience with fun elements like musical theater, shadow play, sand art, magic, and more. Additionally, they interact with the children by listening to their concerns and asking for help, rather than sticking to the usual one-way theater format. Isn't that what true participatory theater is all about?
