SOMEWHERE ELSE
Ljubljana Puppet Theatre I Slovenia
The performance Somewhere Else tells us about a little girl who finds herself caught in the middle of the war. It is through her eyes that we observe her changing city, filled with horrors, violence and fear. And hope, too. The performance includes a variety of modern technological approaches to puppet theatre. The classical puppet animation is intertwined with live video projections and virtual drawings. The dynamic video mapping and tailor made sensors, which are depicting all the movements on the table live, blur the boundary between the real and projected image. It is an entirely new technique in the puppet theatre, overstepping and softening the boundaries between the individual genres. This visually animated adventure is interesting for theatre artists, animators and filmmakers alike, especially because they allow strong intertwinement of variety of genres. The video projections absorb the audience into the very heart of an exciting story about the atrocities of war, which are ‘fortunately’ happening ‘somewhere else’. Or maybe not?
This is a touching story about the absurdity of war and its horrors.
The Ljubljana Puppet Theatre is the main Slovenian puppet theatre staging puppet and drama performances for children, youngsters and adults. The Ljubljana Puppet Theatre builds on the hundred-year tradition of Slovenian puppetry. The theatre manages five regular and several smaller, occasional venues.
