Konj: KROKI AND FRIENDS

Metka Brulec, Silvan Omerzu:
KROKI AND FRIENDS


The show Kroki and Friends speaks about friendship, relations to material things and nature in a simple and direct way. We can see Kroki's feelings when he thinks that his friends have forgotten about his birthday. But the ending is a happy one. Friends surprise Kroki with a birthday cake and his wish comes true. Together they go through an experience which will become a nice memory and will not fade away. And these kind of memories only good friends have.

The story for the youngest audience is an artistic narration, composed of simple manipulation of stylized stuffed animals and carefully chosen objects from the home environment, which trigger feelings of nostalgia (teapot, mugs, stove, pot plant, book, music box etc.), and of natural elements (light, fire, water, river stones).
