From our collections: Alenka makes puppets, public guided tour with a short performance by Alenka Pirjevec

Alenka Pirjevec has worked as a versatile puppet artist for over four decades. In the course of her rich and diverse creative oeuvre she has proven herself as dramatic actor and/or puppet animator (she has performed in over 70 puppet productions), as director, dramaturg, author of the visual design of the production, set designer, puppet designer and puppet maker, as well as mentor.

The exhibition Alenka makes puppets presents an important part of Alenka Pirjevec's body of work, focusing on her author projects, as well as on the productions for which she created original puppets. We follow her career from the performance of Ivan Cankar's Depravity in St. Florian Valley (1994), in which Pirjevec’s puppets first appeared on the Slovenian stage, to First Love , the production of ŠKUC Theatre (2017), which completed her career of a puppeteer.
