Author and performer: Svetlana Patafta Art design of the play: Tonka Maleković Puppet making: Amanda Prenkaj and Dunja Fajdić Stage and sound assistant: Domagoj Klasić Poster art design: Klasja Habjan and Zita Nakić-Vojnović Photographer: Ana Šesto

This is a story about colors, about the basic concepts that children encounter at the earliest age, about diversity, tolerance and respect for the child's potential in all segments of his young life.

It is the product of Svetlana Patafta's focused engagement as a mother, actress and drama pedagogue in creative work with young children. It is inspired by motifs from the story of Duga, Manuela Vladić Maštruko.

Each color represents one story about life, relationships as well as basic concepts that children adopt at the earliest age. Various puppetry techniques are used, sound is also an essential part of focus, as is body language.

The actress interacts with children all the time and encourages them to actively participate in what they see and hear.

The play is intended for children from 1.5 to 6 years.

The show lasts 35 minutes.

Ticket price: 35 kn for free sale, 30 kn for groups of at least 20 people.
