24 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE

From its early beginnings (1984) the typical suitcase theatre in 1993, becomes a professional family theatre, known for bringing famous children fairy tales to life with puppet images. Accompanied by live music the performance of both performers, unveils the mysterious world of objects which come to life. Child-like, simple objects are magically transformed into puppets and so become part of the world reality.

In twenty years this family theatre grew into a repertory theatre with over 250 shows per year, suitable for kids from age 2 and above. The FRU-FRU Puppet theatre works with renowned directors of puppet shows, artists, authors, musicians and actors, and performs throughout Slovenia and for Slovenes living across the border.
