Blocks 1,5+
Based on motifs of the story House of Blocks by Ela Peroci / 40 min
This puppet show is an aesthetic experience for the youngest theatregoers. It does not tell a concrete story, but we play in it and in doing so take life seriously. Jelka and Danilo play with blocks. They build, revive and animate "one simple box". They build a home, their own house made out of blocks, and in it a world of tenants and happenings that are associated with the real images of the world: with the weather, with the physical characteristics of objects, with the limits of the human body, with relationships between people, with stereotypes and peculiarities.
