A big pot, a small mouse 2+
House of Children and Arts and FRU-FRU Puppet Theatre
A Big Pot, a Small Mouse is an intimate musical performance created as a blend of short poems, fairy tales, and counting rhymes by the popular Slovenian writer, poet, and storyteller Anja Štefan. Her poetry, with its refined sense of rhythm and rhyme, opens doors to fairy-tale worlds where everyday moments shine with a touch of magic and mystery. In the performance, poetic verses come to life as melodies, while refined movement and visual
transformations reveal the hidden layers of poetic worlds. Poetry, music, movement, and visual art merge into a harmonious whole, taking the audience on an unforgettable journey full of imagination and wonder.

In the performance of A Big Pot, a Small Mouse, Anja Štefan’s verses are very aptly intertwined with seductively elegant dance movements, visually appealing and imaginatively animated puppets and shadow images, and excellent music and songs.
Each song is given own staging and expression, which emphasises the performing power of poetry and the luxury of puppetry art while providing constant surprises for the little audience. Add to this the infectious freshness and energy of the young performers,
and you get a performance that easily soars to the heights, wrapped in an enjoyable experience.
