Synopsis:
The story, narrated by a storyteller on stage, follows the clever frog Chico. In a time of danger, Chico helps and saves a helpless young bunny named Buffy from death. Following an order from King Lion Elvin, a forest council is held. The fox Lacey, bear Wilbur, pig Dudi, and donkey Roxy all agree to present the weak bunny as breakfast for the lion.

Thus begins a thrilling and adventurous tale. Desperate to survive, Buffy is rescued once more by Chico, who devises a plan to escape the forest. Despite many obstacles from other animals, Chico uses his intelligence and wit to defeat Elvin. The lion ultimately perishes in a fight with his own reflection.

Formerly hostile animals become friends, and together they joyfully crown Chico as their new king.

This performance explores important themes such as bravery, sacrifice, intelligence, education, friendship, and resourcefulness. With strong performances, original direction, and specially composed music, the show creates a magical atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on its audience.
