convincingly won with his song ‘©opek maka’ (‘Poppy Bunch’)
and outshone all eleven other contestants. He received an expert
jury award and two recognitions, while viewers chose the song
‘Te ni’ (‘You’re Not Here’) by Marko Vozelj as their favourite.
The wining song ‘©opek maka’ was composed by Patrik Greblo
to the lyrics of renowned poet Milan Dekleva. Both the composer
and the author of lyrics should almost guarantee a good result,
which Dežan only confirmed.
ThE ‘LUTkE’ fESTIVAL 2008 ENDS
The greatest Slovene puppet festival ‘Lutke’ 2008 ended
with the presentation of awards. This year’s award went to
the performance ‘Hiša Marije pomoËnice’ by the author Ivan
Cankar, arranged, artistically designed and directed by Silvan
Omerzu. The performance attracted a lot of attention from the
sinfo 13 30
beginning, for it seemed that the theme and atmosphere of one
of the most deeply moving and yet quite uncommunicative of
Cankar’s tales would be hard to translate into another artistic
medium. Omerzu proved it possible to create a heartbreaking
and attractive performance by a detailed study and careful
following of Cankar’s thoughts. His puppets created a new,
broader sphere of their own existence. The audience’s award as
well as the originality award went to Moliere’s ‘The Miser’ by the
Spanish group ‘Tabolla Rassa’, directed by Miguel Gallard and
Oliver Benoit. According to the expert jury, Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo
and Juliet’ by the German Kleine Bühne Naumburg theatre and
Dumas’ ‘The Three Musketeers’ by the Alfa theatre from Plzn in
the Czech Republic, were the best from the animation and acting
point of view.
