Lili and Bine

During the school holidays, a colorful group gathers in the meadow. The well-known bees, Lili and Bine, are joined by their friends – Pino the spider, Polona the ladybug, Maj the butterfly, and Mija the ant. Bine excitedly tells everyone that a traveling theatre will be stopping at the forest clearing, and they all rush off so they don’t miss the show. But Karli the grasshopper is nowhere to be found – he’s jumped into a tree and is now battling boredom all alone. Will the friends find him in time to make it to the theatre?

Come and discover the adventures of familiar characters that every child – especially school-aged ones – is sure to recognize. Their stories and situations reflect everyday emotions and experiences: from the joy of friendship, celebrations, and spending time together, to the more difficult moments of fear, boredom, and loneliness.

The puppet show Lili and Bine is inspired by characters from the Rokus Klett schoolbook series.
