BEAUTY OR THE BEAST ?

Venue: Lutkovno gledališèe Ljubljana
Things are not always what they seem. This is the motto of the performance, which through the connection of a girl, Bella, and a boy, Monstel, explores questions of human relations, of this friendship specifically, and the game of discovery they play as they learn their own qualities, as well as the inner qualities of the beauty and the beast.
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre was founded in 1948, after the Second World War. The theatre continued the puppeteering tradition that had started to blossom in Slovenia during the 1920s. The theatre has maintained this basic direction through the decades that have followed, producing performances for children, steering from classical to contemporary texts and then back again. Roughly half of the theatre’s productions are of Slovenian works, while the other half draws from international stories and the treasure trove of fairytales.
