Sevnica Castle Puppet Theater (GLG) was established in 2010 and is located at Sevnica Castle, which dates from the 12th century and lies approximately 85 km east of Ljubljana. It was founded jointly by puppet-maker, animator and scriptwriter Bernard Pungerčič, who acts as managing director, and stage director, actor and scriptwriter Snježana Pungerčič, who is the GLG artistic director.

As well as performing a repertoire of puppet shows, some based on traditional fairytales, it also organises a variety of workshops and seminars for children and adults.


Repertoire

The theatre's permanent repertoire comprises three shows based on traditional fairytales (The Ugly Duckling, Hansel and Gretel and The Three Little Pigs), and four written and devised by Bernard and Snježana Pungerčič themselves: Cesarsko jabolko, a celebration of the history of Sevnica's famous golden-yellow indigenous apple, Zakaj sem Ajček?, which follows the adventures of a rabbit as he searches for the first letter of his name, and (Ne)zgode v prometu, which aims to teach children the importance of road safety. All shows are performed at the castle, but may also be booked for performance elsewhere.

Educational activities

GLG engages in a wide variety of educational activities, from puppet-making workshops and seminars for children and teachers, to advice on puppet-making, performance and direction for those looking to set up their own puppet theatres and groups. It has also devised a 30-minute programme, for children and adults, that presents some of the puppetry techniques used by the theatre (hand and finger puppets, shadow puppets, pull-string and rod puppets, body puppets, and so on).

Lutkart and World Puppetry Day

Since 2013 the theatre has organised an annual one-day art and puppetry colony for children, 'Lutkart, comprising
