A PUPPET PERFORMANCE, 3+

Premiere: September 2015, Stage under the Stars
It is a story about different worlds and about a friendship between a Fish and a Tadpole. This affectionate bond grows before the Tadpole becomes a Frog and jumps out from their pond to the shore, where he discovers yet another world, which the two friends have never even imagined to exist. On his road to recognition the Frog puts together a new puzzle about his likeness and the world he lives in. Inspired by his many adventures and impressions, he returns to his friend and his native pond. The Fish, who can only imagine and dream about the world above the surface, yearns for it so much that he decides to explore it on his own. He thus sets out on a risky journey, which, luckily enough ends well for him.

Premiere: September 2015, Small Stage
Mojca and the Animals is one of our oldest and most popular folk tales, especially among our youngest viewers. It not only reflects the spirit of the time, but also brings us back to our roots. The famous fairy tale, first published back in 1954, tells about an innocent Rabbit who is wrongly convicted and persecuted till the end of his days for a simple reason that he is the smallest and the weakest member of society. On the other side, there is this canny little Fox, who cheats everyone, and yet is never held responsible for it. Presented to us on stage this time, is a new Mojca, who defines the spirit of our time through her relationships.

A PERFORMANCE FOR LITTLE VILLAINS, 4+

Premiere: October 2015, Grand Stage
Unlike most of the kind mythological and fairytale creatures, this Scary Fairy will treat its little viewers to a variety of cunning adventures. This likeably impish heroine lives in a wood where she is constantly bumping into animals. The magic sand, which she foists upon her neighbours, causes nothing but trouble, and her stubborn chasing of a hedgehog, which has supposedly caught rabies, offers a portion of hoaxes, which are waxy enough to produce a myriad of comical twists. The Scary Fairy’s enemies are a queer bunch of creatures: a Snail, a Salamander, a Hedgehog, an Owl, a Squirrel and other characters, who in the end, despite of everything, still remain her friends.

A PUPPET PERFORMANCE, 3+
Premiere: November 2015, Grand Stage
»Dear animals, tomorrow we'll have a party. Everybody's invited.« This is the kind of invitation that animals send to each other, when they feel like having fun. Then they gather, put together everything they need for a party and cheerfully reveal that they actually care about one another. This is a story about five animals – a Squirrel, an Elephant, a Hedgehog and an Ant –, living together in the wood. They are good friends, always ready to help each other, even when somebody needs to eat a cake, write a book, swim on a cloud or throw a party. And what happens in the winter? When the cold winds are blowing, when it is snowing and when they are running out of food? Do they also feel like having fun?

A PUPPET PERFORMANCE, 3+
Premiere: February 2016, Grand Stage
When the Rabbit – who is this tale's main hero –, makes his very own swing with a lot of patience and love, it soon becomes everybody's place of enjoyment. The news spreads fast among his neighbours in the forest, and thus everybody wants to become a part of joy, brought by the Rabbit's new acquisition. Being a polite little animal, the Rabbit immediately offers a part of his entertainment to his friends on condition that anyone who intends to use the swing will have to »push« or help the others swing on it first. The plot suddenly thickens, as the popular swing is seized by two crooked fellows – a Fox and a Wolf.

A PUPPET SCIENCE FICTION, 6+
Premiere: March 2016, Grand Stage
Mission X is a peculiar proposal for a manned flight to Mars, designed to be, on the one side, cost-effective and on the other, possible with the existing technology. In the course of time, more and more of Mars will be open to human exploration as multiple habitat modules will be sent to the same site and linked together allowing for the beginning of a permanent human settlement on the Red Planet. What will the path to that successful endeavour look like, how many astronauts and rockets will be launched, and how long will it last?
