LUTKARNICA | MCLU Mednarodni Center Lutkovne umetnosti Koper

Koper’s International Center for Puppetry Arts (MCLU) offers a vibrant array of puppet shows, workshops, and festivals aimed at engaging families and fostering creativity in children and adults alike. Our main event, the PUF Festival, showcases innovative puppet performances from both local and international artists. The 2024 PUF Festival is coming to a close with final morning performances showcasing wonderful stories and engaging themes, including the featured show "LABOD," based on Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling," designed for children aged 4 and up.

Upcoming Programs

The Lutkarnica offers a variety of puppet workshops and performances. Our spring program features numerous events, including:

Workshops and Interactive Sessions

We also host interactive workshops for children where they can create their own finger puppets. The engaging format invites participants to explore their creativity while learning about puppetry from seasoned artists.

Exploring Diverse Themes

The programs not only entertain but also provide educational insights through the narratives explored in our productions. Themes of friendship, acceptance, and the beauty of diversity are woven into our stories, accessible to both children and their families. Upcoming performances will demonstrate these values through engaging storytelling accompanied by live music and unique puppetry techniques.

Community Engagement and Contributions

We encourage community involvement with a suggested voluntary contribution to support the artists and the continuation of quality programming. Our aim is to make performances accessible to everyone regardless of their financial situation.
