A Little Owl Sitting on a Branch

Puppet cabaret for children

The children’s cabaret presents revived protagonists in the form of puppets and stages a collection of songs by one of the most popular Slovenian authors of children’s literature. In the company of mischievous, presumptuous, greedy, spoiled, lying, short-sighted and enamoured animals, we learn about life’s dilemmas and solutions. Children also learn about various instruments during the show: violin, guitar, ukulele bass, clarinet, drums, xylophone, rain stick, ceramic bass, cymbals, clay birds, Jew’s harp…
