Event as part of the 14th Culture without Barriers Festival

We invite children, youth and adults to a creative puppet workshop inspired by Paul Klee's painting. Together we will create unique puppets and puppets, combining imagination, color and a variety of artistic techniques.

During the workshop, participants will learn the basics of doll design, and then make their own unique characters.

The inspiration will be the distinctive forms, symbols and intense colours present in Paul Klee's work.

Ready-made dolls can become heroes of short theatrical etudes or a souvenir from the festival.

The workshops develop creativity, manual skills and imagination, encouraging experimentation with form and color. No previous experience is required — openness to creative play is what counts.

For whom: children, adolescents, adults and whole families (from 12 years old).

When? 17.10. 10:00-14:00 (there will be breaks during the workshops).
