This piece was composed based on 'The Giant Turnip', a beloved Russian folk tale cherished worldwide. One day, an old man planted a turnip seed, and it grew into an enormous turnip. The old man tried to pull it out, straining with all his might, but the turnip wouldn't budge. He then called his wife to help him, but it still wouldn't budge. His wife called their granddaughter, who called the dog, who called the cat, who called the mouse... It is a very delightful story. Before embarking on the performance, we highly recommend reading the picture book to expand your imagination.
