Good Morning, Meadow 3+
Anja Štefan / Moment
In the performance, we can listen to poems from Anja Štefan’s well-known collections that were set to music for the first time. A troupe of brass players introduces the children the life in the meadow: a rich variety of flowers and insects and small animals that live in the holes, between the grass and the reeds and by the meadow puddles. Through a game of riddles, children get to know the nature that flickers and chirps from morning to evening. The
plants open shyly in the morning dew, spread their blossoms abundantly
during the day and invite swarms of insects to snack, accompanied by hard-working mice, brave snails and lazy frogs.
Good morning, Meadow!

What poetry is in the world of words, puppetry is in the world of performing arts. These are expressions that adore
minimalism, metaphor and symbolism, and open the door to daydreaming, imagination and writing for readers and viewers. That is why puppetry is a natural environment for performing poetry. The authors of the production Good Morning, Meadow noticed this
and let Anja Štefan’s verses lead them into the magical world of the meadow, full of sounds and colours and encounters and interactions with music and puppets. Into life in all its fullness. In this world, the rhythm of words and music elegantly but reliably carries the play, which becomes an indispensable moment in time.
