Opening of the Exhibition From our collections: Alenka makes puppets

The all-round puppet artist Alenka Pirjevec marks her 80th birthday this year. On this occasion, she donated her puppet creations to the Slovenian Theatre Institute – Theatre Museum.

The exhibition Alenka makes puppets presents an important part of Alenka Pirjevec's body of work, focusing on her author projects, as well as on the productions for which she created original puppets. We follow her career from the performance of Ivan Cankar's Depravity in St. Florian Valley (1994), in which Pirjevec’s puppets first appeared on the Slovenian stage, to First Love, the production of ŠKUC Theatre (2017), which completed her career of a puppeteer.

The exhibition opening will be on Thursday, June 12th at 7 p.m., and it will be at display in the domains of SLOGI (Mestni trg 17, 1st floor) till December 31st, 2025.
