Peter Pan

Glavni lik ene najpopularnejših knjig za otroke, Peter Pan, škotskega avtorja James M. Barriea, je deček, ki noče odrasti. Ves čas se igra, zabava in spušča v različne pustolovščine. Peter Pan nam v tej zgodbi, na domišljiski način pokaže, kaj pomeni za vedno ostati otrok. Skupaj z vilo Zvončico, deklico Wendy in njenim bratom, doživlja številne vznemirljive pustolovščine, ki se v deželi Nikoli menjajo hitreje kot dan in noč.Verjetno bi bilo prelepo nikoli odrasti, saj bi tako vedno imeli čas za igro in prijatelje. O tem sem ter tja sanjajo mnogi otroci. Ustvarjalci nagovarjajo otroke, da naj svoje pustolovščine in sanje za vedno ohranijo v spominu ter jim sporočajo, da je odrasti v redu. Vendar naj vseeno pustijo priprta vrata svojega otroškega srca, iz katerega bodo črpali moč za vse ovire, na katere bodo naleteli kot zreli in odrasli ljudje.

Main character of one of the most popular children book, Peter Pan, written by Scottish author James M. Barriea, is a boy who refuses to grow up. He spends his never-ending childhood playing, having fun and adventuring. Peter Pan shows us how it would be to stay a child for ever. Together with fairy Tinker Bell, girl Wendy and her brother, he experiences numerous exciting adventures, which change in Never land faster than day and night on Earth. Probably it would be really nice never to grow up, since there would be enough time to play and hang around with our friends. Sometimes children dream of this.The puppeteers tell children to keep their adventures in a memory and that it is OK to grow up. But the door to one`s own child heart should be always ajar, in order to receive strength for barriers, to which as an adult might come across.

GUIXOT DE 8 (Catalonia)

Katalonska skupina potuje po svetu s kombijem, polnim starega železa. Ta se na mestnem trgu spremeni v igrala, ki z razliko od sodobnih igrač in plastičnih punčk z vnaprej določenimi in omejeni funkcijami, spodbujajo igralčevo domišljijo in kreativnost. Idejni vodja je Joan Rovira, ki zbira, reciklira, reže in sestavlja stare odvržene predmete in jim daje novo obliko in funkcijo.
Igrala skupine Guixot de 8 so na Emonski promenadi že devetič in so zaščitni znak našega festivala od samega začetka l. 2000. Mnogi obiskovalci prihajajo - predvsem fantje in očetje - prav zaradi njih. Skupina ima tudi pri nas, ravno zaradi Emonske promenade, kar nekaj posnemovalcev, ki se trudijo iz odpadnih materialov narediti nove uporabne predmete.

A Catalan company that travels around the world with a van filled with scarp iron that turns into games once in town square. Imagination and creativity are being stimulated in players. Scarp iron is selected, cut and weldad by Joan Rovira. Over the years the company became a trademark of Emonska promenada and has many immiators all over Slovenia.

Skupina SALTIMBANQUI (Mehika)

Eno najboljših mehiških lutkovnih gledališč je poznano po vsem svetu predvsem po edinstvenem ironičnem pristopu in žanrski raznolikosti njihovih predstav. Na prefinjen način se  prepletajo poezija, komedija in tragedija. V značilnem mehiškem slogu z neverjetno ekspresijo in natančno animacijo oživijo lutke stare tradicionalne zgodbe, ki so polne ljudskosti in človeške modrosti. Zgodbe zaokrožujejo razigrani mehiški ritmi in pesmi.

One of the top and acknowledged worldwide Mexican puppet theatre is known for its unique irony and variety of genres. Their shows are works with sophisticated interweaving of poetry, comedy and tradegy. Puppets give life to old traditional stories which are full of folk and human wisdom in a tipical mexican style with its extraordinary expression and precise animation. Lively Mexican rythms and songs rounds off the stories.

Bikoborbe Juana Calavere

Predstava je kolaž treh kratkih zgodb v treh različnih lutkovnih tehnikah. Juan  Calavera, mehiški lutkovni junak ( podobno kot slovenski Pavliha), se v prvi zgodbi predstavi v tradicionalnem  gledališču ročnih lutk s težavami, ki jih rešuje na humoren način. V drugi zgodbi z mimičnimi lutkami se bo Juan podal na trg v vlogi kmeta in poskušal prodati svojo koruzo. Zadnja, tretja zgodba je marionetna predstava o ljubezni in smrti v dolini Caracas. Tokrat se Juan zaplete v pravi ljubezenski trikotnik v stilu mehiških telenovel.

A puppet show is a collage of three short stories in three different puppet techniques. The main charachter is Juan Calavera, a Mexican puppet hero, who is similar to Slovene charachter Pavliha. In the first story he solves his problems in humorous way as a hand puppet. In the second story, which is performed in a mimic puppet technique, Juan goes to tha market as a farmer and tries to sell corn. The last story is a story of love and death in the Caracas Valley. This time Juan as a marrionette involves himself in a real love triangle, typical for Mexican soap operas.

Lutke, ki so v rokah izkušenih vodnikov, se borijo z razbojniki, pijejo morje in jedo sonce. Višek zgodbe je preoblikovanje dobrega konja v zlobnega čarovnika. Zgodba ima tudi izobraževalno noto, saj razlaga osnovne procese narave, ki se odvijajo na zemlji in v vesolju.
Puppets, which are in hands of experienced guides, are fighting against robbers, drinking out the sea and eating sun. The main point of a fairy-tale is transformation of a horse into a dark  wizard. The story has an educational connotation, thus explaining elementary processes on Earth and in the universe.

CARLY KO (ZDA)

Priznana ameriška umetnica Carly Ko potuje in nastopa po Evropi in svetu že skoraj desetletje. Wilmin svet združuje gledališče z žongliranje, zvijanjem telesa, stojo na rokah, bojem z metlo, mini lutkami in lutkami v naravni velikosti človeka, narejenimi iz časopisnega papirja, ravnotežnimi tehnikami, perjem in komedijo. Umetnica se dotika vprašanja estetike, predvsem ženskega telesa, ki jo širši družbi predstavljajo različni mediji.

Acknowledged American artist Carly Ko travels and performs in Europe and all around the world almost a decade. Wilma's World combines theatre with juggling, contortion, hand-stands, combat with a broom, magazine paper puppets mini and life-sized, equilibrium, singing and comedy. The main theme of the show is aesthetic, above all of a women body, presented to the society by media.

Wilmin Svet/Willma`S World

Wilma je 75 let stara gospa z ameriškim naglasom in zobno protezo, ki jo vseskozi izgublja. Tudi njen sluh in vid vidno pešata. Strokovnjakinja je za hišno pospravljanje in odlična pri reševanju križank. Živi sama. Edina vez z zunjanjim svetom so njene ženske revije, ki jih prejema dnevno na pragu svoje hiše.  Mediji, od televizije do revij, ponujajo bralcem enoličen ideal lepote - ženska stara med 18 in 28 let, suha, visoka in lepa. Predstava kritizira omenjeni ideal z vidika stare gospe, ki redno bere te revije. Videli bomo vsakdanje življenje ženske, ki ji uspe narediti iz navadnega gospodinjstva nekaj posebnega. Najbolj banalne aktivnosti postanejo vir zabave in nepričakovanega senzacionalnega mojstrstva. Preko branja revij Wilma obuja spomine na svoje mladost. Za trenutek se spremeni v mladoporočenko s fotografije na steni njenega stanovanja. Spoznali bomo različne vidike njene osebnosti, šibke točke njene starosti, predvsem telesa, ki ne more več slediti željam in potrebam njene umske mladostnosti in nostalgičnega spominjanja.

Wilma is 75 years old, American accent, with dentures that she regularly loses, she is hard of hearing and her eyesight seems to be failing. She is an expert at house cleaning and an ace at crossword puzzles. She lives alone. Her only external input are her woman's magazines that arrive at her doorstep daily. The show presents a character that belongs to our society but is rarely placed in the foreground. The media, between magazines and television present the public with a monotonous form of aesthetic beauty. This tends to be the woman between the age of 18 and 28, thin, tall, and pretty. The show critics this model in a light-hearted manner by an old woman who reads regularly these magazines. We will see the daily life of a woman who manages to transform ordinary household chores into the extraordinary. The most banal activities become sources of amusement and unexpected spectacular feats. While reading her magazines, she relives her own memories of youth, transforming for a moment into the young newly wedded girl in the photo hanging on her wall. We will see various angles of her personality, her weaknesses in her old age, a body that cannot fulfil the youthful energy and desires in her mind, and her nostalgia.

Lutkovno gledališče LJUBLJANA (Slovenija)

Lutkovno gledališče Ljubljana je bilo kot Mestno lutkovno gledališče ustanovljeno leta 1948. Prvi ustvarjalni zagon je mlado gledališče črpalo iz različnih tradicij, ki so zaznamovale slovensko lutkarstvo od njegovih začetkov v drugem desetletju dvajsetega stoletja do konca druge svetovne vojne. V ospredju so bile predvsem marionete (Milan Klemenčič in njegovo gledališče Miniaturne lutke), leta 1934 so se jim pridružile ročne lutke (dr. Niko Kurent z dobro poznanim likom Pavliho, slovenska varianta Pilcinelle, Kasperla, Puncha itd.). Predvsem po zaslugi Jožeta Pengova je kmalu našlo svoj lasten izraz in doseglo zavidljivo umetniško raven. Z njegovimi uprizoritvami Zvezdica zaspanka, Ostržek, Sinja ptica, Mala čarovnica itd. je gledališče prodrlo tudi v evropski kulturni prostor ter postalo je prejemnik številnih nagrad in festivalskih priznanj.

Municipal puppet theatre Ljubljana was established in 1948. First creative impulse derived from different traditions of Slovene puppetry as from its beginning in the second decade of 20th Century to the end of the Second World War. Initial Slovene puppetery included marionettes (Milan Klemenčič and his theatre Miniature puppets), followed in 1934 with hand puppets (dr. Niko Kurent with well known character Pavliha, Slovene variant of Pucinella, Kasperl, Punch etc). The theatre developed its own expression and enviable artistic level, for which acknowledment goes to its first director Jože Pengov. With his shows Little Sleepy Star, Pinochio, Bluebird, Little Witch etc the theatre entered European cultural space and became awarded on many occasions.

Vžigalnik / The Tinder Box

Trije klovni pripeljejo na oder trikolo z velikim zabojem. Ustavijo se in iz zaboja nastane mali oder. Na njem oživiji ročne lutke, ki zaigrajo pravljico Vžigalnik. V premorih klovni menjave scen spretno prikrijejo z zabavnimi točkami. Spremljamo zgodbo Vojaka, ki gre v mesto, da bi videl poroko Princeske in se ob tej priložnsoti dodobra nažre. Pot mu prekriža Corpnica in vojak dobi star vžigalnik ter zlatnik. Slednjega mu spelje Zmene. Ostane mu Vžigalnik, ki pa je čudežni: kadarkoli ga prižge, se pojavi Pes, ki mu uresniči vsako željo.

Three clowns appear on a stage with a three-wheels bike and a big box that turns into a small stage once on a stage. Hand puppets revive on this small stage and the story The Tinder Box begins. Rotation of scenes are skilfully hiden by clowns`s funny acts. The story is about a Solder, who goes to the city in order to see a wedding of a Princess. On this occasion he overeats. His path is thwarted by a Witch. He is given an old lighter and a gold coin. The latter is stolen by a Supposition's child and Solder is left with a Lighter, which turns out to be miraculous: whenever he lights the Lighter, a Dog appears and makes his wish come true.

Hej, Pravljice / Hey, Fairy-Tales

Včasih je prav zabavno, če lahko v lutkovnem gledališču vidimo ne samo eno, pač pa kar tri pravljice. Naj namignemo, v eni je glavni igralec izgubljeni piščanček, nastopajo pa še ječmen, oves, njiva in mama kokoš. V drugi bo zrasla debela repa, v tretji pa trije prijatelji: kozel, mačka in petelin, skupaj odidejo po svet, da bi postali muzikantje.

Sometimes it can be really amusing to see not only one, but three fairy-tales at one time in a puppet theatre. Let`s give you a hint: in the first one a main character is a chick, which get lost. In the same show also barley, oats, field and mother hen appear. In the second one a turnip will grow and the third one is about a friendship between a goat, a cat and a rooster, which decide to travel around the world in order to become musicians.

Lutkovno gledališče FRU-FRU (Slovenija)

V svojih začetkih (1984) tipično gledališče iz kovčka, postane leta 1992 družinsko gledališče, ki znanim zgodbam za otroke išče primerne lutkovne podobe. Ob živo izvajani glasbi igra obeh izvajalcev razkriva skrivnostni svet oživljene resnice predmeta in pogosto povsem običajne predmete čara v lutke, ki postajajo otroško preprosti predmet resnice sveta. Gledališče gostuje po vsej Sloveniji, pri zamejskih Slovencih v Avstriji in Italiji. Mednarodno se udejstvuje na festivalih po Evropi. Prejelo je številne nagrade ter priznanja. Pri predstavah FRU-FRUja sodelujejo priznani lutkovni režiserji, likovni ustvarjalci, pisci besedil, glasbeniki in igralci. Iz družinskega gledališča tako nastaja repertuarno gledališče za otroke, svoje predstave pa namenja najmlajšim od 2. leta dalje.

FRU-FRU Puppet theatre, which began in 1984 as a typical suitcase puppet theatre and became a family theatre in 1993, has been trying to adapt well-known stories for children into suitable puppet forms. Accompanied by live music, the puppeteers often bewitch quite ordinary objects, turning them to into puppets and revealing the mysterious world of object's enlivened truth, and through its child-like simplicity, the objects become the truth about the world. The theatre has so far participated in several important international festivals in Slovenia and elsewhere in Europe: Belgium, Poland, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Croatia... and has received several awards for its work. Many distinguished Slovenian puppet directors, fine arts artists, writers, musicians and actors are among its collaborators and a once family theatre is becoming a repertory theatre for children with more than 250 reprises every season.

Otroke znova in znova privlačijo čudežna in nenavadna pa tudi preprosta bitja, s pomočjo katerih se prebuja njihova domišljija, hkrati pa njihove zgodbe v njih prebujajo najrazličnejša občutja, ki jim na nevseljiv in očarujoč način pomagajo pri razumevanju stvarnega sveta. V Vilinskih pravljicah gre za preplet ljudskega pripovedništva z minimalističnimi lutkovnimi elementi.

The Sun fairy and The Fairy of fire will reveal us to a secret of a fairy-tale world of two natural elements: air and fire. Children are being constantly attracted to miraculous, unusual, but simple creatures, which help them to awake their imagination and different feelings. The fairies in an unobtrusive and attractive way help children towards a better understanding of a real, material world. The fairy tales are an interweave of folk story telling and minimalistic puppet elements.

KOMIKAZE (Slovenija)

Komikaze je skupina stand-up komikov, katere člani s so svojo prodornostjo, svežino in odrskimi izkušnjami zmožni dodobra razkrohotati tako gledalce, ki stand-up komedije še ne poznajo, kot tudi najbolj zahtevne stand-up sladokuce. Pokrivajo širok spekter komičnih slogov, od clever komedije in komedije na račun komika, preko komedije žrtve (victim comedy), imitacije znanih osebnosti, pa vse do benteče (ranting) in žaljive (insult) komedije. Nastopili bodo Perica Jerkovič, katerega humor vsebuje precejšnjo mero (samo)ironije in sarkazma, rad pripoveduje osebne pripetljaje, ki jih kombinira z obzervacijo družbe, Klemen Bučan, katerega šale se večinoma vrtijo okoli urbanega uličnega življenja mladih po slovenskih mestih, njegov repertoar vključuje tudi slovenskega narodnega junaka Kekca, ki ga je avtor izvirno začinil s sodobno inercijo in Klemen Mauhler, ki je znan po svojih številnih improvizacijah in neskončnem številu likov, ki jih upodablja v svojih nastopih.

Komikaze is a group of stand-up comedians, of which members with their own edge, freshness and stage experiences, are able to make those not yet familiar with a stand-up comedy as well as those who are most demanding lovers of delicate fare laughing out loud.

CAPOEIRA TRADIÇAO BAIANA (Slovenija)

Capoeira je zmes borilne veščine, gimnastike in plesa. 
 
Vadba capoeire nam pomaga razviti motoriko, gibčnost, spretnost, hitrost, koordinacijo in lahkotnost gibov. V igri capoeire se hitrost in natančnost prepletata z eleganco in milino gibov. Tekmovalnost je le majhen del pestrega mozaika načel capoeire, kjer se lahko soočimo s svojo agresivno naravo in jo v igri pretvorimo ter izrazimo na ustvarjalen način. V igri capoeire se naučimo zliti gibanje z ritmom, posvetiti pozornost reakcijam drugega igralca in z njim ustvariti popolnoma nov svet medsebojne interakcije. Med igro zmaga in poraz izgubita svoj pomen, saj prevladajo etična načela, kot so spoštovanje do bližnjega, svoboda izražanja in enotnost skupine.  

Koristnost capoeire:

• razvijanje psiho-motoričnih in kognitivnih sposobnosti
• pridobivanje na telesni moči, spoznavanje in obvladovanje lastnega telesa ter svobodno izražanje z njim
• razvijanje kreativnosti preko igre
• razvijanje skupinskega duha, spoštovanja skupinskih vrednost in občutka pripadnosti skupini
• razvijanje občutka za ritem
• soočanje z občutki strahu in sramu pred petjem ter javnim nastopanjem in premagovanje the
• občutkov
• spoznavanje brazilske kulture in portugalskega jezika preko petja, glasbe in igre

Capoeira is a martial art with many various facets that make it a whole and unique art. As a synthesis of forgotten rituals and ceremonial combat dances, it represents a form of cultural expression with which young African people responded to violence and cruel demands of urban society.  It is a Brazilian art form, which combines elements of acrobatic dance, cunning game, ritualised fighting and sport (it is a national sport of Brazil). Having its origins in the struggle for freedom, its primary goal was warrior-like intended to develop ever more refined and efficient combat techniques enabling the slaves to use their body as a deadly weapon against the oppressors.

Mestre Ubaldo >Alegria< - Ubaldo dos Santos was born in 1972 in Bahia, Brazil, where he started to practice capoeira in 1987 and soon became a teacher in 1992.During 1994 and 1999 he worked as a psychotherapist in a psychiatric hospital G. Moreira in Salvador de Bahia. At the same time he worked at the Centre for Handicapped Children (APAI) in Salvador where he conducted rehabilitation sessions, group discussions, workshops on physical expression, entertainment activities and classes of capoeira.

In 2000 he transferred to Trieste, Italy, to spread capoeira as a martial art, promoting the development of cultural and social aspects, as well as preserving the beauty and art.In 2002 he started to propagate capoeira in Slovenia where he became the first teacher of this unique art. On 14th June, 2009 he became mestre.
