Poetic World of Kruna Tarle – where the Living and the Inanimate Meet

Igor Tretinjak

Abstract

In the mid-1990s, the puppet theatre for adults in Croatia was at its golden age, indicating its own maturity with diversity of poetics. In such an environment, in 1996, Kruna Tarle and the company Fasade appeared, enriching Croatian puppetry with the theatre of objects and materials in the so-called Theatre of poetic images. It was a unique stage-world in Croatian puppetry, in which Tarle, by combining art, movement, dance, material and mask, penetrated deeply into the eloquence of the visual aspects of performance. In doing so, she dismissed the classic dramatic conflict, replacing it with the primordial encounter of the living and the inanimate, erasing differences between them and shifting the degree of (in)animate from man to material and vice versa. At the same time, discarding the words, she spoke with animated images, creating a rich world of associations and semantic abstractions.
