PUPPETS FOR ADULTS
ANIMAL FARM
George Orwell – Andrej Rozman Roza
»The actual details of the story did not come to me for some time until one day (I was then living in a small village) I saw a little boy, perhaps ten years old, driving a huge cart-horse along a narrow path, whipping it whenever it tried to turn. It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the proletariat.«

TOWER
Ivo Svetina
German poet Friedrich Hölderlin (1770–1843) sang in the »poor times « and asked himself, »why poets«. His time was also the time of the downfall of the French revolution and the beginning of human right struggles. Despite his total commitment to poetry, Hölderlin was a man of body and heart. His love to Susette Gontard, a banker’s wife, gave birth to verses dedicated to Dotima, and the death of his chosen one gave birth to insanity, which led to a year in a mental asylum and forty years in Tübingen, with Ernst Zimmer, a carpenter, in a house with a tower near Neckar River.

LEONCE AND LENA
Po motivih Georga Büchnerja
Life is such a bore! And it is exactly how Prince Leonce and Princess Lena feel about it too, as they try to resist their parents' demands and societal expectations with boredom, tiredness and overindulgence, beneath which they actually hide their great distress. Their escape is a revolt, a stifled cry for help, which nobody is willing to hear. The questions, they are asking themselves on their funny journey – which brings them back, from where they ran away and makes them realise that no road is longer from the one leading to oneself - are the questions about the purpose of existence and being.

LAILA
Po motivih animiranih filmov Michaele Pavlátove
Laila is a girl, or a young woman, responding to the world around her, to the small events around and inside her. Those events are easily overlooked, but they weave the fabric of her and our lives. The creators of the show hold dear Pavlatova’s special sensitivity, and they find a challenge in portraying thoughts, emotions and other elements of life that seem impossible to portray by puppets.

CRIME
If ya wanna fly up high, dough is your fare, set to go and don’t ask where. Any time, any where, just be ready, they don’t care You need your smarts, and business wise, just don’t be bad. They use the bad, they never pay. No crime, no hawkin’ - I’d be gone by now, would not be milking this cash cow. Crime does pay and crime’s da game, so, yo, my fried, why don’t ya play?
(Emir Rešić)
