The story of a giant turnip is basically the story of the beginning of world. Who pulled out the giant turnip, which is a planet? The mice grabbed the hens, the hens grabbed the geese, the geese grabbed the sheep, the sheep grabbed the cow, the cow grabbed Grandma, grandma grabbed Grandpa, Grandpa grabbed the turnip, and they pulled and pulled and pulled, and finally pulled it out - BIG BANG. Then they all fell down, rolling around, laughing, laughing, laughing…
“With her perfected concept, crafted performance and human and artistic warmth, Iona Ornik set simplicity as an artistic principle. A warm performance, complemented by Jože Šalej’s live acting, following the actress’s rhythm, drew a cooperative response from the better part of the theatre, which knew how to appreciate quality, humour filled half an hour experience of vivacious play.
