From the directing concept:
"The show is primarily aimed at children to preserve the precious qualities that the character of the elf represents: simplicity, honesty, innocence, purity, naivety, curiosity, playfulness and creativity. At the same time, the performance is an opportunity for adults to reawaken and revitalise these inner qualities. The performance thus builds a kind of bridge between the world of children and the adult world. A bridge that connects the two worlds into a single, harmonious whole."
From the review:
"Despite being spread out all over the room, the performers sounded in tune and cohesive. The show itself was beautifully designed, using excellent solutions to bring such a line-up into such a small hall. The director Eva Hribernik, the choreographer Simona Kočar and the set designer Jaro Ješe are to be commended here. They seem to be the perfect combination for the success of the different performances." (Tjaša Primc, SIGIC, 19 April 2023)
