“The Little Black Bat” is a modern adaptation of the Jeju Island fairy tale “Samgong-bonpoori” through a modern perspective, experimental reality, imagination, and traditional adaptation. The main character of the Little Black Bat appears in the play, exploring the positive aspects of life and expressing the qualities of women. “The Little Black Bat” is the first play for children in Korea and is highly appreciated. The fact that the actors perform traditional musical instruments and one actor plays multiple roles makes the play more attractive to the audience.
