About the show

Every night before going to bed, the two chicks said "good night" to their beloved sun. One night, after they had slept all night, the sun did not appear in the morning sky. The chicks decided to find out why, so they went to visit the sun and asked him what had happened. On their way, the chicks travelled very far and had many adventures. But did they find the sun and did they manage to wake him up? If you want to find out the answer to the question of how the little chicks' visit to the sun ended, you have to come to the show. We invite you to a puppet show full of music, songs and good humour, for young and medium-sized children, for sleepy ears and night owls. There is something for everyone.

From the reviews

"Voranc Boh and Robert Korošec prove to be excellent actors with a keen sense of puppet animation. Korošec, in particular, is agile in his transitions from one animal to another, so he really comes to life as a hen, a magpie, a hedgehog, a rabbit, a snail and a duck. The puppets are the work of Ukrainian puppeteer, set and costume designer Elvira Bosovych. The humorous puppets are well detailed and fit the character of each of the puppets."(...) "Overall, a really high quality performance, which is a feast for the eyes thanks to the vivid puppets and the excellent acting of the two Slovenian actors." Ana Rozman, Radio ARS - RTV Slovenia
