“The sun has risen, and dewy showers wake the drowsy eyes of beautiful flowers. If we listen carefully, we can hear the buzzing of the bee. The three cockatiels, proud beauties in a row, sing “Kikiriki” in the morning glow. A happy “Ringaraja” echoes loud and clear, a sound so dear. Who would think that the morning’s light would bother one with such a sight?”

Through the fairy tale, children will get to know string instruments.

Facilitator: Mojca Grula

In the creative workshop, children will create interior decorations from cardboard that can be used to decorate homes, rooms, or other little corners. The motifs will be houses, rainbows, and magical unicorns, and everything will be decorated with colorful, summery colors.

“Once upon a time, castles grew around the world, all of stone and might. In the clear lake, the castle is reflecting, oh, look at it, standing upside down, on its head, oh, look at it, standing in the water, yet remaining dry, oh, look at it, look at it, just look at it, in a white dream amid water lilies. Then, the folk musicians came upon the castle…”

Through the fairy tale, children will get to know percussion, keyboard instruments, and ballet.

“Tarantara, tarantara, all good things come in threes they say, but in this tale, it’s not okay. Once lived three robbers, frightening and bold, with black coats wide and hats so tall and cold. The girls’ eyes widened with terror so true, as the robbers’ presence made them shoo. High-pitched screams they let out in fright, while the robbers spoke with voices raspy and tight.”

Through the fairy tale, children will get to know brass instruments.

Facilitator: Eva Hrastar

“Legend has it that there once was a dragon who wore a crown. Though the dragon has long since vanished, the crown acquired magical powers the moment it parted ways with its former owner…”

The show, featuring two entertaining characters, showcases a delightful array of magic tricks, illusions, and circus elements. We will enjoy Kekec’s amusing performance as he entertains us with his skills and humorously takes us back to the Middle Ages.
