The show is the directorial debut of actress Mia Skrbinac and is part of Lutkovno gledališče Ljubljana's BiTeater programme, which promotes the puppet debuts of up-and-coming theatre artists. It is a comprehensive exploration of Agatha Kristof's novel, a visual representation of a literary masterpiece and a study of the enduring human spirit in a time of great hardship. The intricate mesh of survival, identity and the dehumanising effects of war, interwoven in one of the most harrowing works in the canon of contemporary European fiction, becomes an immersive experience on stage, drawing into the harsh realities of wartime. Each meticulous puppet sequence is a captivating, dynamic performance of sober prose that pushes the boundaries of traditional storytelling and non-violently seeks parallels to the current state of affairs.
