The expert jury of the 15th International Children’s Theater Festival “Bitolino” composed of Ana Levajković – Boškov, Petar Gorko and Ivica Šimić as the president of the jury. Awards the Grand Prix to the play “Dracula – the monsters we created” by the Puck puppet theater from Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Produced and created by the “Merlin Puppet Theater” from Berlin, the play stood out as an extraordinary artistic achievement beyond the boundaries of what is usually considered children’s theater. A play that reaches a high artistic level in all segments. A play that enchants with its aesthetics, with refined humor, lightness and highly professional acting, as well as precise scenography, puppetry, lighting effects, visual design and sound.
With an exceptionally subtle dramatization that does not confront us with our prejudices and our inability to accept others and those who are different.
This play creates an opportunity for the reinterpretation of traditional, national stories and motifs in the light of contemporary theater and the times in which we live.
