Background
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre emerged as a follow-up to numerous semi-professional puppet groups organised since the beginning of the 20th century. Soon after its establishment, the theatre found its own mode of expression and became the leading puppet theatre in the then Yugoslavia. The first seasons focused especially on works by Slovene authors, though the theatre's most important performances were adaptations of foreign works.
At first, the performances were based on the marionette technique, but soon the theatre started to develop also hand puppets. The repertoire included more and more original works by Slovene authors and included an increasing number of collaborators. From the seventies on, the theatre has focused on advancements of technical, technological, and purely puppetry possibilities and cultivates a captivating mixture of classical contents and experiment that result in high quality puppet production. Not surprisingly, Ljubljana Puppet Theatre productions are often included in distinguished Slovene theatre festivals. The theatre has collaborated with great number of renowned theatre directors (Zvone Šedlbauer, Janez Pipan, Robert Waltl, Vinko Möderndorfer, Mile Korun, Silvan Omerzu), visual artists and musicians.
In 2009 the Municipality of Ljubljana merged the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre with the Theatre for Children and Youth (GOML) and incorporated its programme as well as the Golden Stick Festival. The institution's programme is thus divided into Puppetry and Drama departments.
Activities
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre repertory programme encompasses the classical puppetry tradition as well as contemporary forms. The theatre works with domestic as well as with international authors, and is open to young as well as established writers. The theatre cultivates all main puppetry genres (marionette, hand puppets, Java puppets, shadow puppets, mimic puppets) and preserves around 2000 puppets from past performances.
The main target audience is children, however the theatre has expanded its youth and adult programme, thus the programme is divided into two segments, namely, puppet performances and drama performances, including eight to ten premières annually. It also organises puppetry workshops for children and since 2009 also a Puppet Forum, a series of gatherings of puppet creators and the audience, through which the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre wishes to advance the art of puppetry.
Since 1992 Ljubljana Puppet Theatre has organised the biennial Lutke International Puppet Festival, and bestows the Little Prince Awards.
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre has toured in more than 80 cities in 30 countries and received many awards at international festivals, such as the International Puppet Theatre Festival Pierrot (Stara Zagora, Bulgaria), PIF Festival (Zagreb, Croatia), International Puppet Festival Golden Spark (Kragujevac, Serbia), World Festival of Puppet Art (Prague, Czech Republic), etc.
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre also preserves an important collection relating to the Slovene puppetry heritage – see Ljubljana Puppet Theatre Museum Collection. In 2008, on the 60th anniversary of its activities, the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre published a book which gives an overview of all its productions and collaborators.
Programme
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre's programme includes stagings of classical children works as well as performances based on fresh children's texts by Slovene authors (Svetlana Makarovič, Boris A. Novak, Vinko Möderndorfer). Among its most successful performances for children is Twinkle Sleepyhead [Zvezdica zaspanka], still in the repertory today but staged for the first time in 1955 (followed by the first Slovene colour feature film, which greatly contributed to the huge success of this first production, though many other successful Slovene and international productions of the play followed in the following years). Another success was This Merry Day or Matiček's Wedding [Ta veseli dan ali Matiček se ženi] (2002) (a Slovene stage classic by A. T. Linhart), directed by the theatre director Vito Taufer. The production won a number of awards, among others, the Little Prince Award for best performance at the Lutke International Puppet Festival, Ljubljana; the award for the best performance at Slovene Drama Week in 2003; the award for the best animation at the International Puppet Theatre Festival - PIF, Zagreb, Croatia. Other favourites have included Streul’s adaptation of a famous Mozart opera Papageno Is Playing the Magic Flute [Papageno igra na čarobno pišča] (2002) in co-operation with Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana and directed by Diego de Brea and Sapra Mouse [Sapramiška] (1986), written by the widely translated Slovene poet and children's writer Svetlana Makarovič.
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre's recent performances include a highly engaged puppet performance for adults about alienation in contemporary society Love Dolls (2009), co-produced with the Dutch DudaPaiva Company, which fuses modern dance, puppetry, music and multimedia, The Lost Tune [Izgubljeni ton], co-produced by Forum Ljubljana, based on the motif of the Chinese legend about the empire which has lost its primary tune, and Doctor Faustus [Doktor Faust], based on the motifs from the first Slovene production of the play by Milan Klemenčič, the founder of Slovene puppetry, after whom the most prominent Slovene award for achievement in puppetry is named (Klemenčič Award). The performance is a rarity in an international context as it uses puppets from the original staging.
