For Individuals

The Maribor Puppet Theatre is located in the premises of the renovated Minorite Monastery from the 13th century. The complex, which is inhabited by the theatre and also covers the Minorite Church, is an important and interesting record of the history of Maribor. The Minorite Path leads you through the old corridors and basements, all the way to the restored church, while we present you the history of the monastery.

The Minorite Path is divided into three different guided tours, each dedicated to a different age group.  They are called: The Mini Path (3+, 5+), The Mythical Path (9+) and The Minorite Path (12+, 15+).

With Saturday puppetry workshops, we want to bring children and their companions closer to the nature of the puppet theatre. The puppet theatre brings together not only various types of art but also different age groups.

Once a month after certain Saturday performances, carefully prepared workshops take place, where we learn about the types of art that can be found in the Maribor Puppet Theatre.

In the second half of the year, children will face another challenge: how to create and perform real puppet performance!

Each performance opens up known and new topics, raises questions and spreads horizons. Therefore, in Maribor Puppet Theatre, after the performance, we organize discussions on performance, involving artists from the performance, specialists in the field of education, arts, psychology and other relevant fields. The discussions are intended for pedagogical workers, parents and all those who recognize theatre as a learning area.

The Maribor Puppet Theatre organizes various professional seminars for puppeteers, pedagogical workers and others wishing to educate themselves in the field of puppetry arts.

For the 2020/2021 season, we are announcing a seminar with the master of theatre and invented musical instruments Peter Kus.
