About the World (Festival LUTKE)Puppetry performance, in Slovenian with English translation, length 0 min

About the World is inspired by one of the oldest myths about the origin of the world.

A giant duck hatched from an egg on the moon by the water and set off in search of food. In the meantime, it began to rain, the nest was soaked and the egg fell out. Through the use of knitted fabrics and puppets made from natural materials, the production encourages the development of children's senses and, by exploring creatures that inhabit different landscapes, explains the world as full of creativity, constant change and movement that follows the cycles of nature, and man as part of nature that carries the universe within it.

Outdoor footwear must be taken off before the performance.
