Children's Theater Carnival travels to the Capital

Some 25 children's theater companies from across the country will bring more than 50 shows to the audiences in Beijing this summer.

The children's theater carnival, organized by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture to promote literature and theater works for children, will take place in June, July and August.

The performances involve original dramas that reflect reality, while others are adapted from traditional fairy tales.

Different types of performances will also take place, such as children's plays, concerts, musical dramas, puppet shows, magic shows, etc., with a view to inspiring children artistically in different ways. For example, the physical drama, Sea, is designed to educate the audience about the sea through watching the body language of the three actors and a bandsman.
