FRU-FRU enters the next quarter of a century of performing with a modern puppet aesthetic beyond the boundaries of conventional puppet theatre for children. It opens new perspectives on puppetry and looks at contemporary theatre approaches that are close to the present generation. We still remain true to the basic principles – to look for well-known stories for children and then find suitable visual concepts. We pay special attention to performances for the youngest.

We build new seasons with respect for our own history; Most of the performances that have shaped FRU-FRU’s image and recognition over the past 25 years are still alive and current and hold a special place in our historical puppet segment (Lutkoteka). We have also remained faithful to our core guiding principles. Our performances are communicative and interactive and accessible to all. We play in kindergartens, schools and cultural institutions all over Slovenia and abroad.

Also, our theatre is still an open space, a laboratory for new ideas of young, not yet established artists: actors and animators, artists, directors, musicians who, with the professional support of mentors, develop their own artistic expression.
