They didn't even exist yesterday, and the new dolls already took off last night!
It all started at 6 p.m. in the courtyard of the Drenova Landscape Museum. 11 pairs of valuable hands were put to work and with a little help from parents and puppeteers from the Rijeka City Puppet Theatre, they recycled cloths, bottles, cardboard, buttons, ribbons, socks and other materials. Result: original dolls according to the ideas and wishes of 11 small authors.
It was interesting how many of the dolls had a common trait – they could fly! From transformers to unicorns, penguins to peculiar beakers, the children gladly added wings to them.
And those dolls that didn't have wings and they took off tonight in their dreams and like real superheroes they slid down our slide.
Thank you to all the girls and boys, parents, puppeteers and organizers from the Dren Association and from the Tobogan Rijeka 2020 festival who helped make Reci puppet! succeed.
We are sure that children and parents will translate the acquired knowledge and inspiration into new projects of making dolls and spread this virus throughout Rijeka's neighbourhoods.
Until the next meeting, we want you and your dolls to be a healthy kot dren!
