The eight biennial festival of the puppetry artists of Slovenia will be held between the 10th and 13th September 2015. The festival will encompass both a competitive and an accompanying programme of Slovenian puppet performances according to the selection by Uroš Trefalt, and will feature additional events such as talks, conferences, discussion rounds, exhibits and lectures in many fields of puppetry arts. As a central national festival, the biennial aims to present Slovenian puppetry to the broader domestic and foreign expert public (selectors, organizers and directors of foreign festivals and theatres, theatre critics and other members of the interested public), enable an exchange of knowledge and experience, showcase the most interesting content, and to award the best creations. It is both a festival and a promotion of puppetry arts.
