Synopsis
To celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday, Paper Monkey Theatre presents The Man Who Planted Trees. The play was inspired by the timeless 1953 work The Man Who Planted Trees by French author Jean Giono. This imaginative and whimsical piece is designed for children aged 4 to 10, and pays tribute to Singapore’s founding father, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, honouring his visionary leadership in transforming Singapore into a vibrant garden city.
Through puppetry, vivid storytelling, and colourful visuals, audiences will embark on a journey with a kind-hearted character who, through hope and perseverance, plants trees. This symbolises the transformative power of dedication and vision. As the story unfolds, children will learn about the importance of environmental conservation, community building, and how small actions can lead to extraordinary achievements—just as Mr. Lee Kuan Yew’s dream turned Singapore into a globally renowned garden city.
This heartwarming play is Paper Monkey Theatre’s tribute to Singapore’s 60 years of independence, reminding us of the foundations of the country’s success while inspiring the next generation to set ambitious dreams for the future. Join us and experience this beautiful celebration of our shared history and vision!
