Mowgli (2021)
Physical-puppet production for children on the theme of the cult The Jungle Book.
Your track is my track, your den is my den. Do you hear that quivery rumble? Today, the jungle resonates differently than at other times of the year. The Age of new sounds is coming. And who welcomes this new age the most? Mowgli, of course. Today, however, everyone is up on their feet, because Mowgli has disappeared.
What if he got lost somewhere? What if he was kidnapped by the monkeys or the Striped-ones? What if he left the jungle to never return? The creatures of the jungle must take finding Mowgli into their own paws. Together with the wolf pack, Balu the bear, Bagir the panther, elephant Thá or the sneak Kaa, we will set out on a journey through the wilderness.
This physical and puppet theatre production is inspired by the theme of the cult The Jungle Book written by Rudyard Kipling. Sharpen your senses and join us on an adventure filled with the colors, scents and rhythms of the jungle while following clues of the missing Mowgli. However, we must be careful, because only those that walk silently, can see in the darkest darkness, and hear the faintest gust of wind in the den will find their way to a place that is the real HOME.
The creation of the production was supported by the FPU from Public Sources.
Suitable for children from 5 years old.
Length: 55 minutes.

They wrote about us
"Bratislavské bábkové divadlo prišlo s absolútne jedinečnou a experimentálnou produkciou, ktorá sa nijakým spôsobom nesnaží podliezať pomyselnú latku pre mladého diváka. Práve naopak."
"Známu a často iscenovanú predlohu nepoňali tvorkyne ako dramatizáciu poviedok o zvieratách a o chlapcovi vychovanom vlkmi. Zamerali sa na zvuky, farby a vône džungle."
"Bratislavské bábkové divadlo chystá novú inscenáciu Mauglí na motívy Knihy džunglí od britského spisovateľa Rudyarda Kiplinga."
"Mauglí je výtvarne i pohybovo pôsobivá inscenácia. Nie je cielená na znalcov a milovníkov Kiplingovej predlohy, no pri jej dekódovaní nie je diváckou výhodou, ani ak literárne dielo nepoznáte."
