THE UGLY DUCKLING

May 16 at 11.00 pm
Venue: Ljubljanski grad, Mini teater
Duration: 50 minutes
Slovene language performance.

This classic Danish fairytale follows its protagonist, a duckling who is so ugly that nobody likes him, along his journey of transformation from an ugly little duckling to a magnificent swan, from a sad helpless thing to a tolerant and patient creature. Three actors enact this transformation, as well as a whole range of figures who accompany the duckling on his journey.

Robert Waltl and Ivica Buljan founded Mini teater in 1999 and, since then, have staged propulsive theatre with a range of rich productions. In addition to its series of post-dramatic theatre pieces, the principal creative and proactive power of the theatre is directed toward performances for children, and especially puppet shows. Mini theater’s repertoire of children’s performances encompasses both classic world literature and Slovenian original texts. The organisation is characterised by its reach, its high-quality international activity, and the festival Mini poletje.
