Episode 1: Tiger and Dried Persimmon
A hungry tiger descends on the village. While prowling the streets, the tiger hears a mother tell a crying child, “You’ll have your dried persimmon!” What could be so scary that a mere mention of its name stops a child’s crying? Then, the tiger meets a thief who is about to steal some oxen. The thief climbs onto the back of the tiger, thinking that the animal is an ox. As the pair run over the mountain pass, the thief soon finds out that the animal is none other than a terrible tiger.

Episode 2: A Rabbit and a Tiger
Two wanderers, dragging a box together, are climbing through the Byeongpungjin Pass. The two are lost, but when they find the full moon in the sky, they sit down to spin a tale. The two take out a tiger and a rabbit doll and put up a small puppet theater. Unbeknownst to the two, Horangi, a massive tiger with a flair for storytelling, wakes up and begins to narrate the story of the rabbit and the tiger: how the crafty rabbit managed to escape the tiger with three tricks.

Theatre Bom
Theatre Bom was founded in 2003 to provide a natural stimulation for the pure and sensitive sentimentality of our children and teenagers in the globalized cultural environment and instill a sense of emotional fulfillment through performances. It seeks to surpass the common examples of puppet theater by introducing new and varied materials and techniques.
The group also utilizes the convergence of puppet theater with other genres, such as fine art, multimedia, video, music, and book art, to add to the sense of mystery in its works and create works that inspire creativity among children, teenagers, and adult citizens. Since 2016, Theatre Bom has started producing participatory street theater with massive puppets, including “Gulliver’s Travels,” to expand its content offering to outdoor street theater.
