This section provides information on the leading figures in the vibrant field of puppetry, which has a strong international presence. It covers the central puppet theatre in Slovenia, independent theatres and groups, as well as festivals, galleries, and museums that showcase Slovene puppetry heritage.



Ljubljana Puppet Theatre

The Ljubljana Puppet Theatre (LPT) is the central puppet theatre in Slovenia, running a varied programme of puppet and also theatre performances. Mainly – though not exclusively – intended for children and youth, the theatre encompasses both traditional puppetry as well as its many contemporary forms. Involved in various international endeavours and working with domestic as well as foreign authors, its productions are often included at distinguished theatre and puppetry festivals in Slovenia and abroad. Established in 1948, it is still actively shaping the development of puppetry as such.

The theatre organises the Biennial Festival of the Contemporary Puppetry Art LUTKE and co-produces the Golden Stick Festival, both taking place every second year. The Museum of Puppetry, another project co-founded by the theatre, opened its doors in 2015 and is stationed at the Ljubljana Castle.

Konj Puppet Theatre

Puppet designer and puppeteer Silvan Omerzu, who studied fine arts in Ljubljana and then took up puppet design and set design for stages in Prague, established Konj ("Horse") Puppet Theatre in 1993. At the outset, he collaborated closely with Jan Zakonjšek in performances aimed at adult audiences as they were replete with macabre and obscene humour, oscillating between the noble and the grotesque, soapiness and aestheticism, the traditional and the contemporary. Since 2001, Omerzu continues with the performances based on carefully selected texts and innovative relationship between the puppet and its animator.
