Speckles the Ball, A Puppetheque Performance

One of the most frequently performed puppet plays in the world, first premiered at the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre in 1951. This year, it takes centre stage at The Oracle, the 36th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts!

You do know the story of one of the most famous puppets around, don’t you? Granma and Grandad adopt Speckles the Ball, and when she’s home alone, the Rascal Dragon tricks her into coming with him. She is only saved by Granma and Grandad – with the help of children – who manage to blow the wicked dragons away. Grandad on his hurdy and gurdy, Grandma with her drum and the cheeky Speckles the Ball continue to charm audiences young and old.

Admission: €8 per person; also possible with a Biennale ticket – limited, bookings at trgovina@mglc-lj.si. Tickets are on sale from the beginning of September.

In cooperation with the Ljubljana Museum of Puppetry and the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre.
