The Brave Adventures of Apprentice Hlapić is based on one of the most important works by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, a writer often referred to as the Croatian Andersen. Her stories, rich in imagination, warmth, and ethical values, have been captivating young readers around the world for over a century.
This puppet performance, featuring gentle humor, clear storytelling, and a distinctive visual language of flat puppets, creates space for identification, understanding of the world, and conversations about friendship, courage, and justice.
We warmly recommend the performance for older kindergarten groups and early primary school students, as it encourages imagination, empathy, and a love of storytelling in an accessible and playful way.
