In 1997 a group of four people from Slovenska Bistrica (Matevž Gregorič, Marko Bradan, Tomaž Ozimič and Iztok Kalan) created several successful puppetry productions. The production Nylon (1999) was particularly popular, and was presented at PIF in Zagreb, at the Summer Pier International Puppetry Festival, Maribor in Maribor and at the Experimental Theatre Festival in Tzew, Poland. It received an award at the 'Pierrot 2001' International Festival of Puppetry for Adults in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.
The group's recent project The Pohorje Legends, directed by Matevž Gregorič and performed by Jana Jeglič and Matevž Gregorič, was presented at Summer Pier International Puppetry Festival, Maribor in 2007. On the occasion of the group's 10th anniversary a big party featuring a diverse cultural programme and an exhibition was held at Graslov stolp in Slovenska Bistrica.
