From the directing concept:
"The musical and theatrical performance, which was intended to be a didactic work on music theory, was a great challenge for the creators. We thought it would be interesting to bring the content to life by animating playing cards of different sizes arranged in a space. The animators breathe life into the playing cards and dance with them. A story within a story is born. The abstract dimension of the dynamic dance/play scenes gives children the opportunity to step away from the concrete content and create their own imaginary world. The use of movement is a powerful means of expression that motivates young viewers and easily captures their attention and curiosity. Words, music and dance, each with its own language, transcend the dimensions of the physical world and create magic. And that is exactly the purpose of our production."
From the review:
"Several factors are responsible for the show's appeal and interest among children and adults alike. The play is directed by the renowned director Eva Hribernik, the set design is by Jaro Ješe, and stars Vanja Iva Kretič, Simona Kočar and Matej Voušek. They give the performance a great impetus for the audience to listen more attentively and also to participate. Their performance was at an enviable level.” (Tjaša Primc, SIGIC, 4 December 2022)
