Minizaurus and Dino: What, How, Why?

 

Minizaurus and Dino are best friends, self-proclaimed dinosaurs, and the most colorful and charming creatures the world has ever seen; and what they love most is singing songs and pondering life. We follow them on their journey as they search for answers to the essential questions faced by humankind and by mini-dinosaurs after the age of three: What is this? What’s that over there? Why is there a sun? How was the world created? Do fish sleep? Why do stones roll? What does “woof” mean? And why do we always have to go home in the evening? And also – again and again – what, how, why?

 

After the hits The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child, Room on the Broom, and The Smartest Giant in Town, Jaka Ivanc returns to our grand stage, this time with a fresh original play by Jure Karas. The text, infused with playfulness and warmth, introduces two new original heroes to the Slovenian fairy-tale world, who, with their imagination, courage, and unpredictable adventures, are sure to delight both the youngest audiences and their parents.
