MIŠIĆ JULIJAN/ A MOUSE CALLED JULIAN, Kazalište lutaka Ljubljana (Slovenija)

Mišić Julijan (2019.) slikovnica je o povučenom mišu Julijanu autora i ilustratora Joea Todd-Stantona, dobitnika nagrade Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. Miš radije provodi dane sam nego u društvu svojih susjeda i drugih stanovnika naselja i u tome u potpunosti uživa.

Spletom okolnosti povučeni Julian jednoga dana upozna lisicu. Iako su isprva sramežljivi i suzdržani, dvoje junaka ubrzo zajedno uživaju u ugodnoj večeri te postupno shvaćaju da su jedno u drugome pronašli prijatelja za život. Dvije potpuno različite životinje, koje bi u prirodi mogle biti grabežljivac i plijen, sklapaju prijateljstvo koje se na prvi pogled čini nemogućim.

Predstava se temelji na temama prevladavanja straha, vrijednosti prijateljstva i međuljudskih odnosa, a režiju potpisuje renomirana i nagrađivana animatorica Asja Kahrimanović. U svom redateljskom debiju koristi lutke koje je izradio ilustrator, glazbenik, grafički dizajner i svestrani umjetnik Jure Engelsberger, poznat pod imenom Engels. Zajedno s proširenim kreativnim timom stvorili su nježnu, ali uzbudljivu avanturu koja nam pokazuje da život može biti ljepši ako s vremena na vrijeme dopustimo drugima da nam se približe.

A Mouse Called Julian (2019) is a picture book about a reclusive mouse called Julian by Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-winning author and illustrator Joe Todd-Stanton. The mouse prefers to spend his days alone rather than in the company of his neighbours and other residents of his neighbourhood. And he absolutely loves it.

By a strange coincidence, the reclusive Julian one day meets a fox. Initially timid and reserved, the two heroes soon find themselves having a nice dinner and slowly realise that they have found a friend for life in each other. Two completely different animals, which in nature could also be in a predator-prey relationship, become involved in a friendship that, at first glance, should never have developed.

The production is based on the themes of overcoming fear, the richness of friendship and relationships and is directed by the renowned and award-winning LGL animator Asja Kahrimanović. The production, which marks her directorial debut, uses puppets made by the illustrator, musician, graphic designer and versatile artist Jure Engelsberger, known as Engels. Together with an extended creative team, they have created a gentle but exciting adventure that emphasises that life can be more enjoyable if we let others in once in a while.
