Konj Puppet Theatre

Icarus in Sivan Omerzu's Prepovedane ljubezni (Forbidden Loves) based on classic motives. The 2009 performance, produced by Ljubljana Puppet Theatre and Konj Puppet Theatre received several international awards.

Puppet designer and puppeteer Silvan Omerzu, who studied fine arts in Ljubljana and then took up puppet design and set design for stages in Prague, established Konj ("Horse") Puppet Theatre in 1993. At the outset, he collaborated closely with Jan Zakonjšek in performances aimed at adult audiences as they were replete with macabre and obscene humour, oscillating between the noble and the grotesque, soapiness and aestheticism, the traditional and the contemporary. Since 2001, Omerzu continues with the performances based on carefully selected texts and innovative relationship between the puppet and its animator.
