About the Show
The sun is shining brightly, the cicadas are chirping loudly, and rock n roll is the maturity and recklessness of childhood. Boku is a child who loves summer. His memories of summer include a blazing sun, thunderstorms, and very noisy cicadas. However, at some point, Boku's parents always wanted him to grow up, enter a state of boredom, and say goodbye to summer. So Boku decided to use mud and some jingly things to create the summer squad DoReMiFa, to accompany him in saving summer! And then, something happened that changed everything... The highly acclaimed 2022 Taipei Children's Arts Festival has been remade and upgraded. This summer, in the theater, adults and children can create new childhood memories together.
