| Festival Description | “All adults were children at first ….“ We call them “small“ though we should call them “super“ heroes. A super hero is the one of unlimited possibilities. Being able to transpose in a second or change the surrounding world according to any wishes. Being small and tiny, day after day, without any difficulty they are winning over the gravitation. They think in super sizes and nothing is impossible or inconceivable for them.These super heroes are everywhere around us. In the morning we take them to kindergardens and schools, in the evening our house is filed with their adventures. From time to time they come to the theatre to watch how the grown-ups are imitating them. Exactly as the children desire to become adults, so the adults desire to return to their childhood - at least for a while. And that is why we are again and again building up our children´s room on the stage, we are learning how to fly and the younger we become in our imagination, the greater our world becomes for us. That is why we have decided to dedicate the Fifth Festival of the Bratislava Puppet Theatre to the topic current in any time. The great world of small heroes, as we can see it, has become not only the motto of our festival, but also a tribute to all children — that inexhaustible source of inspiration for every artist. The Festival of the Bratislava Puppet Theatre has existed since 2005, being held every other year and renomated theatre groups from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Austria, Belarus, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy and Japan have participated in it since then. |
