Case report
A wise and witty spring of the Croatian puppet
Igor Tretinjak
; The Academy of Arts, Osijek, Croatia
Abstract
The final MA exam play of the students of acting and puppetry of the Academy of Arts in Osijek is a witty, playful and superbly animated stage play which cleverly combined youth and adulthood, pessimism content-wise and optimism performance-wise. At the same time, it points out the infinite possibilities of puppetry which has moved beyond screens, two-dimensional play and “barbecuing” with rod puppets long time ago. We can only hope that these possibilities will be recognised by our puppet theatres, opening their doors to puppeteers from Osijek who are not just the future, but the necessary present of the slumbering Croatian puppetry.
